Vacations close to local life are preferred today, and as a result, more people are staying in the...
Spooky season and the beach vacation do go together! We don't usually watch horror movies set on the beach, but here, in Playa del Carmen, we don't do what everyone else does. We love this time of year when the temperatures and crowds drop, and the mystery begins to be felt in the autumnal sea breeze.
In this post, we'll tell you what you can do to make the most of the last days of October with Halloween and the beginning of November with the Day of the Dead.
Walk along Fifth Avenue wearing a Halloween costume
Are you in the mood for dressing up this year? Go ahead and walk along Fifth Avenue in your best costume. No one will judge you! The most likely thing is that you will see more characterized people, and you will find a good party and atmosphere near 12th Street, the bar area.
Tell horror stories around a campfire
Meet a few friends on the beach to light a fire and tell horror stories around it. In the Riviera Maya, we have our own folklore that will freeze your blood, for example:
- The Xtabay: A woman who appears near the ceiba trees to lure men to a fatal fate.
- The Aluxes: Mischievous Mayan elves who make practical jokes. Don't make them angry!
- The Huay Chivo: A creature half-man and half-goat that wanders around at night, terrorizing anyone who crosses its path.
Go to a Day of the Dead-themed show
Every year, the Xcaret theme park celebrates the Festival of Life and Death Traditions in late October and early November. Activities are organized around the Day of the Dead, such as plays, workshops, and a gala concert with renowned artists.
Do a horror movie marathon in a luxury apartment
