Celebration of Life: El Dia de los Muertos

November 1st is the first day of Dia de los Muertos or the "Day of the Dead.

Beneath our differences, we are all the same — or as famed Mexican printmaker and creator of the symbolic La Catrina, José Guadalupe Posada, once said: "Todos somos calaveras" ("We are all skeletons.")

Join Beautiful Destinations' creators Cory Martin and Arman Mitchell as they explore the City of Oaxaca, Mexico, during Dia de los Muertos, a three-day celebration dedicated to remembering the lives of those who've passed and to support them on their spiritual journey; it's a time to celebrate life, not mourn the loss of it. Have you celebrated life today?
