| The unique and special qualities of Michoacán during the Days of the Dead, the Mexican holiday dedicated to honoring family and ancestors, provide a most memorable and powerful experience. Become a part of the celebration as you explore decorated cemeteries, watch traditional dances, and shop special markets with your tour leaders, Stevie Mack and Kitty Williams. Together, we’ll visit vibrant folk art villages, where you’ll see demonstrations by renowned artisans of the techniques they use to create their fabulous ceramics, copper, and lacquerware by hand. You’ll also increase your understanding of Mexican history and add to the depth of the experience by touring museums and exploring archeological sites. Join us for this once in a lifetime opportunity!
