THE REAL DAY OF THE DEAD in Mixquic, Mexico (Día de Muertos)

We travelled to the colourful Mexican town of Mixquic for the official Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations on November 2nd 2022. The tradition of attending loved ones graves by laying out marigold flowers, offerings and lighting candles can really be felt here. If you have ever watch the 2017 Disney film Coco, you may recognise the similarities between the cemetery that can be seen in this video and the one depicted in the film. Travelling from Mexico City to Mixquic was definitely worth it. We really felt like we witnessed something truly special on this day.

Hello Ladies ! I was in Mexico 🇲🇽 for Day Of The Dead in 1997 .. it was , as you discovered amazing. It's a really serious but festive day .. very cool. Bet the folks are already talking about the World 🏆 ⚽️ coming up. I'm finding it hard to get excited about it this year but sure I will be tuned in a 3 weeks time. Stay Awesome 👌 Ladies ✌️

The real Coco you got to experience that is really awesome girls! It is a great movie I cried so much 🤭

[@danallard]

Beautiful video with incredible visuals - you really did a great job in conveying the vibe of the event.
It's both a vibrant and exciting experience, but also a cherished and emotional cultural tradition.
Well done to both of you for this one, it really made my heart smile.

A bit different than the other Dia de Muertos celebrations I have seen. Really cool!

Hi Guys! I am just totally fascinated with the celebrations that are happening there in Mexico. Actually, I missed your previous video so I had to watch that first. Lol! I do see some similarities to the way we celebrate our relatives who have passed on here in the Philippines. We call it "All Souls Day" here. But it's so nice to be watching your vlogs because you two are really special here on TH-cam. Have fun, be safe, and eat well! 👋☺

Very nice video! 🙌🏼🙂

Excuse me, but the Coco movie was not based on Mixquic, but on San Salvador, another town, and if you visit us again, ask for the Wuero and I will explain the tradition 100% to you.
