Día de los Muertos is almost here! While we may not be able to celebrate with traditional parades and festivals this year, Airbnb wants to honor this unique time from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 in a new way––virtually.
Online Experiences has curated fresh cultural experiences that include a tour through the unique traditions of the Day of the Dead, sugar skull making, recipes for sweet treats and tamales and more.
