My 12 year-old and I participated in Día de Muertos adventures with Copper Moon Tours from October 30 through November 3, 2023. Jen put together such an amazing experience for us that I never could have organized on my own. Our guide Jaime was an incredible storyteller and we both learned so much about the Purépecha people and the customs surrounding Día de Muertos. The tours were conducted with the upmost consideration and respect for the holiday and the people who actually live in Pátzcuaro and the nearby islands and towns that we visited. Thank-you so much, Jen and Jaime!

Jen, thanks so much for such a marvelous tour for Dia de Muertos! It was magical, enchanting, unique and delightful! You are so lovely and kind and that spilled over to the people in our small group! I posted compliments to your Soul of Mexico Tours wall also. I look forward to seeing you and sipping some more mezcal in beautiful Patzcuaro! Very warmest regards and many thanks,

Soul of Mexico Tours’, “Día de los Muertos” is the perfect way to immerse yourself in this incredible, colorful, magical time in the Patzcuaro/Purépecha indigenous people’s region of Mexico. It’s a once in a lifetime experience! Jen organized a wonderful itinerary that took us into many small pueblos; showing a different and unique aspect to the holiday celebrations. We got a closeup look into some of the local traditions and even got to actively participate with the townspeople. We were always welcomed with open arms, big smiles and warm hearts. The daytime and nighttime excursions into the elaborately decorated and candlelit cemeteries was memorable beyond … striking images sharply remain. There was ample time to shop the big, festive markets and fairs being held simultaneously, too. Overall, it was a thrilling time from start to finish. Jen’s tour covers a lot of ground and showcases Día de los Muertos in the best way possible.
