Don't let the name fool you: the Days of the Dead are a lively and colorful Mexican tradition, and -- next to Christmas -- the favorite time of year for children.

This Mexican tradition coincides with our Halloween. Stay at an all-inclusive in the Playa del Carmen area, and you can watch festivities while enjoying fall promotion rates.

Read more about Day of the Dead celebrations in Playa del Carmen, on the Mayan Riviera, south of Cancun (an area with many great activities outside the beach resorts.)
