In fact, in hindsight, <a href=\"https:\/\/therockysafari.com\/2016\/10\/16\/last-minute-getaway-to-cancun\/\">that may be why the airfare was so cheap, to begin with<\/a>. The holiday was over\u00a0so more people were probably trying to leave Mexico rather than enter.<\/p>\n<p>My first exposure to the Day of the Dead actually stems from when I was a kid. I remember waking up one Saturday morning, turning on my television, and watching an episode of Jackie Chan Adventures &#8211; one of my favorite shows growing up &#8211; where Jackie and Jade traveled to Mexico and it happened to be the Day of the Dead. Ever since I saw that episode years ago, I have had an ongoing interest in seeing the celebration in real life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=480,height=360,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hqdefault.jpg 480w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hqdefault.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hqdefault.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hqdefault.jpg 407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Traditions associated with\u00a0the Day of the Dead include building private altars called<i>\u00a0<\/i>ofrendas (they are very beautiful!), honoring the deceased using calaveras (artistic representations of the human skull), visiting graves of loved ones, and leaving behind favorite foods, beverages, and flowers such as Mexican Marigolds as gifts.
