GET TO KNOW MEXICO

• CELEBRATE

For Mexicans, death is more of a celebration of a person’s life, rather than a day of mourning. Every November 1–2, cities around the world celebrate Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican Day of the Dead, which symbolizes keeping the spirits of loved ones alive. Check your local listings for the festival, and be prepared for sugar skulls, parades, and crowds.

• COOK

Nothing brings the memory of home closer to mind and heart than food. Tacos, the authentic Mexican staple, can be found almost anywhere throughout the world, but chef Roberto Santibañez’s cookbook Truly Mexican (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011) teaches you how to bring the authentic taste straight into your kitchen.

• TOUR

Sprawling on almost 20 acres within Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, the Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Museum of Anthropology; visitmexico.com) is the definitive place to go for a comprehensive look at the history and culture of Mexico, starting from the Maya civilization and continuing on to the present day.
