Mexico is one of American countries more devoted to pre-Columbian traditions. The celebrations last for days and the dead are honored in many ways. The way in which people die is very important, so much so that there is a specific day to remember them depending on how they died. However, it is not only people who are honored; pets also have their special day.

They believe the portal that opens in the last days of October, closes at 00.00 of November, 3. During these days, people light candles, put flowers in vases and leave some food for the dead. In some places, they spend hours and hours in the cemetery, accompanying the dead. Some people spend the whole night there. And some even put an extra dish with food on the table for the dead people in the family. Bolivia has similar traditions.
