A Día de Muertos Journey Through Mayakoba's Canals
As October fades, Mayakoba transforms. From October 30 to November 1, all four hotels come alive with canal experiences, world-class dinners, live performances, and ancestral ceremonies: a celebration of life, memory, and Mexican tradition unlike anything else in the Riviera Maya.
At the center is Between Worlds, a performance that reimagines the traditional Día de Muertos story. Zunu, a curious hummingbird, guides you and your family through the canals to the secret they hold: a parallel world where the memory of our ancestors and the passions they lived for return as joy.
Every evening, 7:00 – 10:00 PM
