After meeting at Cruz de Piedra Square, we will begin our Day of the Dead tour at Santo Domingo Square, a location to learn about the history of the celebrations.
From Santo Domingo Square, we will view the Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, a convent adorned with decorations for the Day of the Dead. This will be an opportunity to take photos as the tour commences.

To conclude the night, we will enjoy a delicious dinner with traditional Day of the Dead dishes before saying our goodbyes at the end of this 4-hour tour.
