DIA DE MUERTOS
2023
"I`m the one that´s got to die when it´s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to"
- Jimi Hendrix
The cusp of autumn and winter marks the time of year when the veil between the living and dead is thinnest. As the season begins to turn, embark on a journey through the ancient mysticism of an age-old culture that continues to celebrate the richness of living.
​
To be welcomed into intimate spaces where family members are honoring their dead means traditional protocols must be adhered to. We take our direction from the keepers of this observation, which prohibits visitors from dressing up in Catrina make-up, or in any form of costume. We ask our guests to be respectful of the locals, and to ask us if you have any questions.

2023 TOURS & EVENTS
CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN TOUR
Longing for a private getaway on your own terms?

We customize tours for solo travelers, small and large groups. Customized travel is perfect for organizations, field studies, and family celebrations. If you are an art dealer, or have a gallery, ask us about the artists we represent and can introduce you to!
SAFETY CONCERNS
Newcomers often ask: Is Mexico Safe?
​
While crime is widely reported across the news, it is largely targeted in Mexico. The general rules that apply elsewhere, apply here, such as not flashing your wealth around, not walking alone at night, or using ATM's after dark when the streets are vacant of people. Don't sell or buy drugs, and be aware of your surroundings. If you are driving in Mexico, we don't recommend travel on rural roads after dark, as accidents with livestock are too common.
​
Generally, Mexico is a very safe country with a warm and engaging citizenry, lovely restaurants, fascinating history, eclectic architecture and never–ending celebrations.
