Jimenéz

explained that the park's concept was created four years ago and that movies such as “ Spectre ”, the James Bond movie that recreated a Day of the Dead parade in Mexico City , and “ Coco ”, from Disney Pixar, strengthened the idea to finalize the project.

The visitors can travel through the Mictlán , the Aztec underworld , accompanied by an Indigenous priest, also known as “ chamán ”, who will guide to through a colorful forest, where every tree is alive.

Visitors can also visit the cemetery , full of candles and flowers, where they can find a hologram, travel in a “ trajinera ”, raft, decorated with skulls and flowers, visiting a little Mexican town, or turning into a skull .

In the heart of the journey, there is a monumental altar with bread, beverages, candles, flowers, and religious images.
