Today you will visit the Pantéon de Dolores Chapultepec cemetery with your guide. On the Day of the Dead, the graves in the cemeteries are lovingly decorated. Pictures of the deceased, marigolds, favorite dishes of the deceased, fruit, candles and incense are placed on the ofrendas to make the return of the dead more palatable. The idea behind this tradition is that the living light the way for the dead so that they can come back for the night and enjoy everything that has been prepared for them.
