Overview

  • The special thing about this activity is that you will not only observe the tradition of the Day of the Dead, you will live it!

    This tour combines history, art, culture and gastronomy in one experience. You will walk through the streets of the historic centre of Puebla discovering authentic altars inside colonial houses and museums, with explanations full of symbolism and emotion.

    But what really makes it unique is that at the end of the tour, you can put your hands in the dough and make your own puffed dead bread, a traditional recipe from Poblano, in a real bakery.

    It is an immersive, emotional and delicious activity that connects with the deepest of our roots. Ideal for travellers who want more than just a visit: a complete cultural experience.
