Day of the Dead in Michoacan, Mexico. In this video, we’ll take you to the historic city of Morelia, Pátzcuaro, the island of Janitzio and the Pueblo Magico of Tzintzuntzan to experience one of Mexico’s biggest celebrations. Learn from the locals what an “Altar de Muerto“ or “Ofrenda“ is, and what makes up an altar dedicated to honor a deceased person. We also show you how people party in Patzcuaro’s pier during Día de Muertos. Check out the beautiful decorations in the cemetery of Janitzio and the elaborate adornment of the tombstones in the cemetery of Tzintzuntzan. Have you ever slept in a cemetery before?
