Now in its second year, “Calaverandia” the -Día de Muertos- theme park located in the Mexican state of Guadalajara has been expanded with the expectation of hosting more guests, as Calaverandia’s inaugural run was a big hit with the public.
This year’s park will feature over 30 attractions, including immersive tours through the underworld, exhibitions of altars and decorated skulls, live music, a neon lights area, ball pits and more.
The park’s showpiece is El Inframundo, or The Underworld, which has been expanded 50% over last year. The immersive experience takes visitors through the Aztec netherworld of Mictlán.
The 4-D show Alma will tell the rich history of the -Día de Muertos- tradition. There will also be a seven-meter-tall alebrije statue, photography areas, themed characters, video mapping and Catrina shows, canoe tours and cultural games for the kids.
A mariachi band will play traditional songs every hour at the park’s main altar to the dead, and will perform tributes to famous Mexican singers who have now passed away, such as Juan Gabriel and José.
The interactive cemetery has also been expanded to include activities for children, and there will be lots of traditional Mexican delights in the food court.
Last year’s park saw an estimated 3,000 visitors a day — about 40,000 in total, but the organizers are expecting that number to rise to 4,000 a day this year, so they have extended the hours of operation from 7:00pm-12:00am Sunday to Thursday, and 7:00pm-1:00am on Saturday.
