About Halloween in Cancún
Halloween on October 31 is followed by Mexico's Day of the Dead. In the Yucatán Peninsula it's called Hanal Pixán, "food for the souls", and it runs from October 31 to November 2. Families build altars with marigolds, candles and photos, and cook mucbipollo, a large tamal baked underground.
The ancient Maya saw cenotes as doors to Xibalbá, the underworld. Swimming in one during these days is a great way to connect with the legends.
