Important notes
Traffic in Mexico City during this festival is very busy. This at times may hinder drive times and sitting in traffic.
The Day of the Dead parade date is only announced a few weeks before this trip departs- unfortuntely we can't predict if the parade will occur over the days our trip departs.
