• Tips

Mixquic, whose name is derived from Nahuatl meaning “in the mesquite,” is a unique town situated in the Tláhuac municipality, southeast of Mexico City. Its cultural wealth is evident in its streets, homes, and especially its cemetery, which transforms into a vibrant stage filled with color, fragrance, and mysticism.

What sets Mixquic apart is its blend of solemnity and celebration. It is not merely a parade or a tourist attraction; it is a community that pays tribute to its departed with altars, cempasúchil flowers, candles, copal, music, cuisine, and rituals handed down through generations.

Every grave becomes an altar, and families gather in the cemetery to watch, pray, share meals, and remember those who have passed on. The atmosphere is enchanting: thousands of candles light up the cemetery, chants and prayers mingle with the scent of copal, and the vibrant colors of the cempasúchil guide the symbolic return of souls.
