Dia de Los Muertos: A Celebration of Life and Tribute to the Deceased
The Día de los Muertos, literally "the day of the dead", is a significant holiday in Mexico, celebrated between November 1st and 2nd.
It is a joyful celebration of life and a tribute to deceased family members, who are believed to temporarily return to the world of the living to reunite with loved ones.
Although it coincides with All Saints’ Day, it has completely different origins and opposite meaning.

Death is seen as a transition to another dimension of existence: the world of the dead, of spirits.
Made famous by the Disney animated film "Coco", this holiday is a unique and meaningful celebration.
