Mexico&rsquo;s Museo de las Momias (Mummy  Museum) makes the small Colonial city of Guanajuato the star of this  tour. The Mummy Museum has been displaying the naturally mummified  bodies of people buried in the local cemetery for almost 150 years. A  combination of dry weather, a mineral-rich soil, and a potent  concentration of minerals in the water makes every person who has lived  and died in Guanajuato a potential mummy, according to local lore. The  museum itself is a wonderful combination of the macabre and the kitsch.  You can visit the actual cemetery and see real mummies, but you can also  visit the &lsquo;modern&rsquo; Halloweenesque section of the museum, and eat <i>charamuscas<\/i>, a sugary candy shaped like a mummy.<b><\/b> <\/p><\/blockquote><blockquote><p><b>November 2nd<\/b><b> &ndash; Zacatecas<\/b><br>Zacatecas,  another small Colonial city in Northern Mexico, was the home of Joaqu&iacute;n  de Bola&ntilde;os, author of the first official Mexican biography of Death.<i>&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/morbidanatomy.blogspot.co.uk\/2009\/07\/la-portentosa-vida-de-la-muerte.html\">La Portentosa Vida de la Muerte<\/a><\/i>&nbsp;was  first published in 1792, and was quickly condemned by the literary  elites and some prominent officers of the Inquisition. T<br>he book managed  to survive, and nowadays the City of Zacatecas honors Bola&ntilde;os, its  prodigal son, with a festival named after him around Day of the Dead. <\/p><\/blockquote><blockquote><p><b>November 3rd<\/b><b> &ndash; Aguascalientes<\/b><br>Aguascalientes  was the birthplace of Jos&eacute; Guadalupe Posada. Posada&rsquo;s Calaveras have  become icons of the festivities around D&iacute;a de Muertos.

The tour  includes an exclusive visit of the Museo Nacional de la Muerte (National  Museum of Death.)<br>We will be back in Monterrey by November 4  after 5:00 p.m. Please consider this for your traveling arrangements.
