»Easter Week in San Miguel de Allende

© Sarah Meghan Lee, © Carl Moore, © Jennifer Spelman

To capture the events of Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Mexico is to intimately experience a tradition that goes back centuries. San Miguel de Allende, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the ideal place to witness this week-long holiday—one filled with processions, altars, and passion plays expressing the full force of Latin America’s singular mix of Catholic and indigenous religious culture.

Easter Week in San Miguel de Allende
with Sarah Meghan Lee and Jennifer Spelman
March 25 - March 31, 2013

With Sarah and Jennifer’s guidance and unparalleled access, you’ll spend seven days taking full advantage of the many extraordinary sights and delights—from the San Juan de Dios Procession to the Firing of the Judases.

To deepen your understanding of what you see, a cultural expert will join the workshop to help explain Semana Santa’s significance to the people of the region.

Experience through your senses—and your lenses—the amazing array of Holy Week events in the beautiful colonial mountain town that is San Miguel de Allende.
