Press Release Body: From October 30th to November 2nd, Xcaret will be clothed in
traditions, legends, music and altars dedicated to the dearly departed. At a cost of
over 1 million dollars and with the participation of more than 1000 volunteers, 719
artists and 39 communities from Quintana Roo's Mayan zone, we will celebrate the Day
of the Dead at Xcaret, sharing traditions and displaying the great mosaic of
cultures to bind our country together.

The purpose of the Life and Death Traditions Festival is to create and integrate a
yearly encounter where cultural ties are reborn at all levels through active
participation of the region's communities, each with their respective Day of the
Dead traditions, in an exhibit of ancient and contemporary cultural diversity.

For 4 days, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., we will present visual arts, exhibits of
offerings and culinary arts, children's workshops, interactive tours, music, dance,
theater productions and the traditional Mass.

Programmed activities will be held simultaneously at different venues: the
Cemetery's Plaza, the Open-Air Ball Game Court, the Open Theater, Bridge to Paradise
Cemetery, the Main Plaza, the Mayan Village, the Hacienda Henequenera, La Isla
Restaurant and St. Francis of Assisi Chapel.

We will also offer special tours designed to explain the importance of this
tradition to our visitors. With the opportunity to experience one of our country's
most distinctive traditions up close, we're sure you'll take some memorable
experiences back home with you.

This year's festival will feature a roster of talent headed by one of Mexico's great
actresses, Ofelia Medina, with her production of "To each his Frida", and the
extraordinary voice of Betsy Pecanins, who will present a concert entitled Blues and
shadows, a celebration of life and death. The list of artists will also include the
Luna Llena Theater Group with its production of Miquiztli, death of the ephemeral¸ a
play with giant puppets in the so-called "theatre noir" style, along with
presentations by more than 30 groups of artists.

Amongst skeletons (Catrinas), votive candles, offerings, literary skulls, the famous
mukibipollo and artistic presentations, we will have a live festival that will honor
death in a very Mexican style...the Xcaret style!
