In Mexico, death isnt the end of the road its the beginning of a huge party. Rooted in Aztec tradition, Oaxacas colourful Dead of the Dead festivities have been drawing curious visitors for decades.

Then, its off to the coastal town of Puerto Escondido for a few days of well-earned R&R on the beach youll be more than grateful for or, if youve still got the energy, parties galore.
