Altars are another way of providing gifts to the departed. You can generally find altars throughout town the days leading up to the Day of the Dead.

On a side note, our favorite place for viewing altars in town was on Calle Corazon. This year, there was only one altar there, hidden in the entrance to Spa Itza. Hopefully next year the altars will return!!



This alter has a figure dressed in scuba equipment.





This was creepy:
