Visit in images cemeteries of the pueblos around Lake Patzcuaro. On the night of November 1 to dawn of November 2, families gather in the flickering light of hundreds of candles, amidst a profusion of offerings, remembrances and pungently scented flowers, to commune with loved ones who have died. Trails of marigold petals help the returning spirits find their way. Over centuries these observances have blended Catholicism and Purhepecha cultural traditions.

Great photos and narrative! Really like the You Tube videos... adds a nice touch! Well done.
Wish Patzcuaro was a little closer and we'd come visit again next weekend.

As much as you travel, it's not that far. We'd love to have you visit us again.
