Join us in one of the world’s most dynamic cities, Mexico City. We will visit during the annual Day of the Dead festivities and experience the incredible sites, sounds and special events surrounding this colorful and important Mexican tradition.

Filled with world-class museums, stunning modernist architecture, delicious food, and art-filled spaces, the city has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. With a reformist president in the middle of his single six-year term (Andrés Manuel López Obrador, popularly known as AMLO), it’s a time of important change in the country. 

On this five-night program we will immerse ourselves in the culture of this spectacular city while also delving into the political and social issues that have shaped Mexico. We’ll meet with individuals working to improve conditions for the disenfranchised and those who can provide an insider’s perspective on the challenges and struggles that many of us have only seen reported through a US-centric lens.
