Travel Guide

This weekend, I was invited to document a Hanal Pixán ceremony in 3 Reyes, Yucatan—a mayan community working hard on saving their ancient customs.

They had told me not to expect anything crazy, but they ended up blowing my mind.

I got invited to take pictures at a very special Day of the Dead ceremony in 3 Reyes—a small Mayan community in the state of Yucatan.

To witness this side of my own country, relatively unknown to the most of us, is such a beautiful feeling!
Hanal Pixan stands for "The Feast of Souls"; and you can clearly appreciate that fact in every altar around 3 Reyes.
