Introduce the Family to Día de los Muertos at Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Waterpark

If you didn’t grow up celebrating holidays like Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), you are probably more than a bit curious. But heading to a different country to experience a cultural event you aren’t familiar with can be a bit intimidating. Where’s the best place to go? How do you know what to do? Or not to do, for that matter? If Dia de los Muertos falls into that category for you, you might want to consider Sandos Caracol Nature Resort & Waterpark in Mexico’s Playa del Carmen. This resort lets you experience an authentic celebration firsthand without having to worry about all the details.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
