About your trip

Get ready for an unforgettable journey to colorful Oaxaca, Mexico for Dia de los Muertos! This is one of Mexico’s most significant and awe-inspiring celebrations. It’ll be an immersive experience where we’ll dive deep into the heart of Oaxaca during the country’s most culturally-significant time of year, where the streets come alive with color, music, dancing, and the tradition of honoring loved ones who have passed.


Dia de los Muertos is a time when families create beautiful altars, or “ofrendas”, adorned with marigolds, candles, and photographs to welcome the spirits of the departed back to the world of the living. Remember the Pixar movie, “Coco?” Yeah - we’re about to live it as we visit the town that inspired it all!


In addition, we’ll taste Oaxaca’s incredible food scene, take a cooking class in a local’s home, visit artisan shops, a mezcal distillery (and drink a lot of mezcal and tequila), tour the ancient ruins of Monte Alban, and go swimming in a beautiful calcified lake called Hierve el Agua. 


Our adventure doesn’t end there! Later, we’ll head to the stunning coast of Puerto Escondido for some time to unwind on pristine beaches, enjoy the laid-back surf culture, and explore the natural beauty of Oaxaca’s Pacific coast. We’ll be releasing baby turtles into the water, savoring fresh seafood, and simply relaxing on the beaches and watching the sun set. Puerto Escondido is the perfect way to cap off an extraordinary trip. 


Join us for a tour that combines the vibrant traditions of Oaxaca with the serene beauty of Mexico’s coast!

About your organizer

I created Wild World Tours so I could make travel more accessible to more of you. It's important to me to lead you to new, special corners of the world alongside local guides the entire time.

I'm Maria, your guide to the world. I’ve been to over 45 countries, many as a solo female traveler and as a group trip host for work, which started this idea and passion. I’m excited to show you more of the beautiful places in the world I’ve fallen in love with! So far we've led group trips to Cuba, Thailand (twice), and Oaxaca, Mexico.

These are tours for the wild at heart. Join us for an adventure!
