+what two places do people vist on the day of the dead
The Highlands of Guatemala and neighboring Chiapas, Mexico, are exceptionally beautiful, full of history â some of it enchanting, and some extremely full of sorrow. In preparation of the Day of the Dead, people in Latin America, and especially in Mexico and Central America, gather flowers, food, and candles. On the day itself, they bring all these items to the cemeteries to honor their loved ones. Food and prayer are the two most important components of this commemoration.
