The experience
Everything you will experience
Every year from October 17 to November 3, the Fitofolor marigold fields light up as evening falls. Thousands of orange cempasúchil flowers and red and magenta cockscomb glow under strings of lights that form paths for walking, taking photos and enjoying the Day of the Dead season.
The tour departs at 6:00 p.m. from the Toursoaxaca Travel office, one block from Oaxaca’s Zócalo. It includes round-trip transportation, on-board passenger insurance and admission to the fields; on the way back we drop you off at your hotel in downtown Oaxaca.
