Velas Resorts in Mexico’s Revive Ancient Traditions Of Día de Los Muertos

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (October 5, 2021) - Mexico's Velas Resorts celebrates Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) with vivid festivities revolving around the ancient tradition of Día de Los Muertos. Held on November 1st and 2nd, Día de Los Muertos has been included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list by UNESCO.

 

Dedicated to deceased loved ones, as a homage to their wisdom and legacy, Dia de los Muertos' buoyant preparations at Velas Resorts include copal incense, papel picado flag streamers, bountiful marigold flowers, elaborately decorated sugar skulls and more. Ofrendas, or elaborate altars, are decorated throughout resort grounds. At Velas Resorts, memorable activities range from Catrina face painting and costume contests to arts & crafts to paint one's own alebrije (spirit animal), trick or treating, and seasonal spa treatments.  Authentic food and beverages traditional during the holiday are also offered. During Dia de los Muertos at the resorts, travelers can also take advantage of a 50% savings on kids' and teens rates and round-trip transportation; resort credits on the spa, boutique and golf; suite upgrades; and early check-in or late check-out.

 

If travelers are unable to make it to Mexico this year, they can opt to celebrate at home with the below recipe for the Chaneque cocktail from Grand Velas Riviera Maya below. Chaneque are legendary creatures in Mexican folklore believed to be the guardians of nature.

 

Chaneque

1 oz. pox

½ oz. ancho chili liqueur

½ oz. tangerine juice

½ oz. panela/piloncillo simple syrup

1 pc. Abuelita chocolate

 

To prepare the piloncillo syrup: Boil 1/2 lb piloncillo in 1 C of water until melted and thickened.

Rim cocktail glass with chocolate powder.

In a shaker, combine pox, ancho chili liqueur, tangerine juice and piloncillo simple syrup. Strain into glass.

Optional: Add Abuelita chocolate to the glass.

 

*Panela/piloncillo and Abuelita hot chocolate are available in your local Latin grocery store, and in some places even mainstream grocery stores, or can be purchased online. To substitute brown sugar for piloncillo, use 1 cup of dark brown sugar and 2 tablespoons molasses.

 

For reservations or more information, please call 1-888-407-4869, email reservations@velasresorts.com or visit https://dayofthedead.velasresorts.com/.
