Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a holiday in which we remember and honor our deceased loved ones. It is both a festive and colorful holiday and a deep and mystical experience, recognized by UNESCO as a cultural heritage event for humanity. The largest Day of the Dead celebration in the USA is in San Antonio. We'll explore the unique history, culture and arts that make San Antonio so special and enjoy the Dia de Muertos Celebrations.
Included meals are denoted: Breakfast: B, Lunch: L, Dinner: D
DAY 1
We arrive at the San Antonio airport, and transfer to the Drury Inn San Antonio Riverwalk our home for five nights. Tonight we experience the Spiritlandia River Parade, a star-studded, night-time parade of dazzlingly lit, colorful barges floating on the San Antonio River.
DAY 2 B,D
Our morning is free so we can sleep in after a night watching the parade. In the afternoon, we will do a deep dive into the Alamo, perhaps San Antonio's most important hisotical site. We start with a movie exploring the basis for the battle, then head to the site for a guided tour. Afterwards, we'll enjoy a welcome dinner together.
DAY 3 B
We start the day at the Muertos Fest which brings together traditional art and culture with live music and entertainment to celebrate the Day of the Dead. Festivities include live music, original artwork, a dance, drum and puppet procession, live poetry, and the largest open altar exhibition in San Antonio. After a brief rest at our hotel, we enjoy a narrated cruise on the San Antonio river. Afterwards, we can enjoy the Drury's Kickback.
DAY 4 B,L
The Tower of the Americas is a 750-foot observation tower-restaurant located in the Hemisfair district on the southeastern portion of Downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States. The tower was designed by San Antonio architect O'Neil Ford and was built as the theme structure of the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68. We will enjoy the view and then have lunch at the Chart House at the top of the Tower. After lunch, the Natural Bridge Caverns are the largest known commercial caverns in the U.S. state of Texas wait for us. The name is derived from the 60 ft natural limestone slab bridge that spans the amphitheater setting of the cavern's entrance.
