It's jacaranda season and we are so happy! 💜
In Mexico City, the jacaranda trees hold a significant cultural presence, reminiscent of the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C. Initially, the idea of planting cherry trees in Mexico City was discarded due to unsuitable conditions, leading to the introduction of jacarandas by Japanese gardener Tatsugoro Matsumoto.
These trees bloom annually in late February, transforming the city with their vibrant purple hues until March and April.
The legacy of Matsumoto's vision lives on as these non-native jacarandas have become an integral part of Mexico City's landscape, symbolizing a blend of cultures and traditions.
The jacarandas not only beautify iconic sites like Chapultepec Forest and the Central Alameda but also reflect Mexico's history as a melting pot through their arrival and enduring presence in the city.
Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy our favorite landscapes 💜 Book now!!

El Día de Mu***os es una celebración mexicana que se festeja el 2 de noviembre de cada año. Es una de las tradiciones más significativas de la cultura mexicana y se ha convertido en una mezcla de tradición católica y misticismo, conmemorando la muerte como un elemento más de la vida, para recordar y honrar a los seres queridos.
A continuación, te presentamos algunos datos interesantes sobre el Día de Mu***os:
- Los altares se crean en honor a los seres queridos que han fallecido. Están llenos de elementos simbólicos, como velas, flores, comida, fotografías y objetos personales del difunto.
- La Catrina es un personaje icónico del Día de Mu***os. Fue creada por el grabador José Guadalupe Posada y representa a una mujer elegante vestida con ropa de la alta sociedad, pero con una calavera como rostro. La Catrina se ha convertido en un símbolo de la muerte y es utilizada durante la celebración.
- El pan de mu**to es un elemento esencial. Es un pan dulce con forma de cráneo o huesos que se coloca en los altares y se comparte con la familia y amigos. ¡Es delicioso!
- El cempasúchil es una flor de color naranja brillante que se utiliza para decorar los altares y las tumbas de los difuntos. Se cree que su color y aroma ayudan a guiar a los espíritus de los mu**tos de regreso al mundo de los vivos.
- El xoloitzcuintle es una raza de perro sin pelo que se ha convertido en un símbolo del Día de Mu***os. Se cree que los xoloitzcuintles eran los compañeros de los mu**tos en su viaje al más allá y que su presencia en los altares ayuda a proteger a los difuntos.
En Xochisguide amamos las tradiciones y el simbolismo que hay detrás del Día de Mu***os. En los próximos días les estaremos compartiendo un tour donde podrán probar el mejor pan de mu**to de la CDMX. ¡No se lo pierdan!
