Merida’s Day of the Dead | Hanal Pixan | Día de Muertos | Bucket list México | Episode 50

Día de Muertos, or Day of the dead, is celebrated all over Mexico, but the Yucatan Peninsula does it differently. In the Yucatan, they celebrate the Mayan holiday: Hanal Pixan. The capital of the Yucatan, Mérida, hosts the week long Festival de las Animas (festival of the souls) celebrating Mayan culture and tradition. In this video we share our experience during this iconic bucketlist celebration!

We hope you enjoy this video.

✨WHO ARE WE?✨

We're Hayley, Jake and Finnley. In the summer of 2020 we bought a cargo van and spent the next two years slowly converting it into a tiny home on wheels. We then took a break in our careers and sold our home, then in October 2022 we left on our biggest adventure yet! We're road tripping from our home in Vancouver, Canada to Cancun, Mexico! We're sharing the adventures along the way in weekly(ish) episodes here on Youtube! Subscribe to join us!
