Kim/Wanda/Connie

The trip was fantastic; you did a wonderful job organizing it. The trains and the hotels were walking distances, and it was great. It was wonderful to get to the train stations, and our seats were pre booked. During the tours we just walked pass the long lines of people waiting to get into the sites. 😊. The tours were very informative and interesting. The ladies spoke English very well and my husband and I enjoyed talking to them later in Italian.

🌼 A taste of Mexico’s rich cultural traditions.As I prepare for my upcoming visit to Mexico, I’m looking forward to discovering more of the traditions that make this country so fascinating.One that captures my interest is Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), celebrated November 1 and 2. From colourful altars and marigold flowers to pan de muerto, a lightly sweetened bread flavoured with orange, this celebration is rich in meaning, remembrance and connection.Travel is about more than the places we visit. It’s about discovering the stories, flavours and traditions that bring a destination to life. 🇲🇽✨ Discover the sweet tradition behind Day of the Dead** and read my latest blog, including a traditional-inspired pan de muerto recipe.🔗 Visit my website: onantaforbes.com#OnantaForbes #TravelWithMeaning #DayOfTheDead #DiaDeLosMuertos #MexicoTravel ...
