You will listen to people singing songs and you will see the amazing pre-Hispanic dances that take place during the celebration. It’s like you’re in a fantasy movie.
But the best of all is that you can be a part of the festivity, as you will have the opportunity to witness: workshops, cleaning, medical consultations (traditional medicine), prayers to the ancestors, vigils, songs, street markets of objects alluding to spiritual well-being and various rituals.
