If you're looking for a captivating experience during the Día de Muertos celebration, the Walk of the Souls at Parque de San Juan is an absolute must-see. This annual event offers a beautiful homage to the traditions and customs surrounding this cherished holiday, and it certainly lives up to its reputation as an unforgettable experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a vibrant atmosphere filled with colorful displays that pay tribute to those who have passed. The decorations are nothing short of stunning, showcasing intricate altars adorned with marigolds, photographs, and candles, all arranged masterfully to honor loved ones. Each display tells a unique story, merging creativity with the rich tapestry of Mexican culture. What truly makes the Walk of the Souls exemplary is the dynamic blend of activities available. The food stalls are a culinary delight, offering traditional treats like pan de muerto, tamales, pib, and various street foods that will make your taste buds go wild. Alongside this, the lively music that fills the air, from mariachi bands to traditional folk tunes, adds a joyous backdrop that enhances the overall experience. They have areas to get your face painted for 25 pessos, allowing visitors to embrace the spirit of the holiday by transforming into calaveras (sugar skulls). It’s not just fun; it’s a way to immerse yourself in the celebration and express the blend of reverence and joy that characterizes Día de Muertos. Entertainment is beautiful, with performances ranging from comedy to live music to storytelling that enrich the cultural experience, drawing you deeper into the heart of the holiday. The energy is palpable, as families, friends, and visitors come together to celebrate and reflect, making it a truly communal event. I highly recommend visiting Parque de San Juan during this time of year. The Walk of the Souls is not just an event; it's a beautiful cultural experience that leaves a lasting impression. The vibrant colors, enticing flavors, and rich traditions to be breathtaking. This is a celebration of life, love, and remembrance that should not be missed!

We came here each night as it was bustling with excitement and fun. Tones of vendors for food... sweet and treats to tacos and more! We sat down all evening and enjoyed people watching. We got serenade and listened to some local favorites. We watched a concert in the corner. They have lots of porta-potties but bring your own toilet paper... many had none! Lots of people selling clothing and trinkets as well! If you are in the area, take a look at my other listing for places we visited in the area! Enjoy 😉

Izamal is packed with history. You will find narrow streets and traditional homes and businesses. The town is know as the Yellow City and the picture will demonstrate. Ask questions to the locals and the visitors, you'll be surprised the folks that will provide stories. We stayed at the San Miguel Arcangel. Great traditional hotel with lots of historic value. The ruins (pyramrd) are amazing!

Ok. What do you want me to say? It's rustic, chipped paint here and there; yes. But I sat on a bench, smell the fresh air, stretched my legs and fed the birds and I wanted to go to sleep, relax, peaceful athmosphere.

Il Parque de San Juan a Mérida è un angolo storico e sereno, perfetto per una pausa durante la visita alla città. Di giorno, è un luogo tranquillo con una fontana centrale e venditori di cibo locale, che donano autenticità all'atmosfera. Ma è la sera del 31 ottobre che il parco si trasforma: durante l'Hanal Pixán, la versione yucateca del Día de los Muertos, ospita il suggestivo Paseo de las Ánimas. La processione, con partecipanti vestiti di bianco e truccati da "Catrinas", parte dal cimitero generale e termina proprio al parco, dove altari, candele e statue giganti creano un'atmosfera unica di commemorazione e tradizione.

Este es un parque emblemático para nuestra ciudad, con una iglesia muy bella, en este parque podemos encontrar bastantes puestos de comida, área de juegos y una fuente que por el momento se encuentra en remodelación, por otra parte es un lugar bastante concurrido ya que a sus alrededores se encuentran varias terminales de combis que llevan a pueblos aledaños a Mérida, en conclusión este es un parque muy bonito que se encuentra en la zona céntrica de nuestra ciudad y por ende hay que seguir cuidandolo.
