Mexico: Day of the Dead at San Miguel de Allende, Oaxaca & Mexico City

Please Note: Read the directions carefully below BEFORE you RSVP "Yes" for this event.

1. This is an overseas event where we will fly to San Miguel de Allende, then to Oaxaca and finally to Mexico City during the Day of the Dead festivities.
2. In order to participate in this event, you need to have attended several PP events, preferably the weekend/day trips that I have offered so that you get a really good sense of how I lead tours/excursions. I am not being paid or earning money on this trip - you are essentially joining me on vacation. So I only want low maintenance, "drama free" travelers who don't get easily upset if the itinerary suddenly changes due to circumstances beyond control - like heavy rains, natural disaster, site we were supposed to visit is suddenly closed, etc. An adventurous spirit is a must!
3. I do not have a total cost yet for this event and I am partnering with two tour companies to cobble the itinerary together. The estimated cost will be around $2,500 per person, not including air travel. You will need to book your own hotel and air travel. For some tours or sites, we will need to take Uber. For others, we will have a passenger van. Our lunches and dinners at San Miguel are not covered by the tours, so that's out of pocket.
4. We will fly out of LAX on Friday, October 25th early morning to San Miguel de Allende. Visit the botanical garden and Chael of Jimmy Ray.
5. October 26 - Historical and cultural walking tour, lunch break and then cemetery and withes tour
6. October 27 - Visit the Artists Market, Las Ranas, Fabrica, Galeria Atotonilco, Otomi and dinner.
7. October 28 - Fly to Oaxaca. Have lunch and visit the botanical garden and textile museum. Dinner.

In the past 14 years or so, I have taken the group to Mexico about a dozen times. 3/4 of these frays were into Baja. The other trips were to Mexico City (twice), Michoacan, and Puebla. Mexico is a large and wonderful country, with many places to visit and experience. This time we are going to San Miguel de Allende, Oaxaca and Mexico City. The focus will be experiencing all these cities during the most festive time of Mexico - Day of the Dead! I have been wanting to visit Oaxaca and San Miguel, and even though I have been to Mexico City twice already, I want to experience teh Day of the Dead parade there. So come join me on this adventure filled with wonder, enchantment of course, delicious food!
