The shores of Lake Pátzcuaro and its islets (Quiroga, Janitzio, Ihuatzio, and Tzintzuntzan) are the heart of Mexico’s Day of the Dead traditions, celebrated throughout the country, particularly in cities like Morelia, Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca, and Mérida. Each year, these towns honor the departed with a blend of ancient rituals and colorful offerings. Festivities begin on October 31 with the preparation of traditional dishes for the offerings. On November 1, an “Angelitos” altar is dedicated to deceased children, and on November 2, adults are celebrated with altars and ceremonies filled with candles, flowers, and music. This is a unique opportunity to witness a living tradition that celebrates life and the memory of loved ones.
