What is Día de los Muertos? El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a holiday rooted in the indigenous traditions of Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica (Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica). Diá de los Muertos as observed today is a combination of native indigenous and Catholic tradition that celebrates the circle of life in which death plays a part and is not to be feared.
