Marigolds and sweet breads mark Day of the Dead in Mexico

"This Two-Key property, buried deep in the jungle, stages an ephemeral ofrenda for only a few hours on the evening of November 1 to prevent local deer, coatis, raccoons and iguanas from turning the sacred set piece into a feast. This year's theme, “My Root Chablé,” honors the region's heritage with immersive stations on ancient Mayan harvest techniques and the journey ancestors make from the afterlife recreated at the hotel's cenote spa; family-friendly highlights include a piñata exhibition inspired by local animals and a parade of performers in handmade La Catrina skeleton costumes." - David Shortell
