Día de Mu***os (Day of the Dead) takes place on 1 and 2 November, and it's one of the most colourful celebrations in Mexico. For a couple of days, families welcome loved ones back with altars (ofrendas) covered in marigolds, candles, photographs and their favourite food and drink. The preparations start weeks earlier, from mid to late October, with homes, markets and streets filling with flowers.

The roots go back more than 1,000 years to the Indigenous peoples of central Mexico. After the Spanish arrived, the celebration was brought in line with the Catholic All Saints' and All Souls' days, and the two traditions have been woven together ever since. UNESCO added it to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008.

Seeing it in person is very different to seeing it in photos. If it's been on your list, we would love to help you plan a trip around 2027's Día de Mu***os:

Rainforest, ocean and mountains, all in one province.

British Columbia fits a lot into one trip. Start in Vancouver, where the city meets the wild. Cross to Vancouver Island for the ancient cedar forests of Tofino, Victoria's harbour, and whales and bears along the coast. Then head up the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler for alpine lakes and adventure all year round.

Scroll through, then let us build your BC trip. Our Vancouver Island's Bears & Whales trip is a great place to start, or combine the coast with the Rockies on our Western Canada route.

From Patagonia to the Arctic Circle, these are the places that keep pulling us back for another whale watching trip. Each one earns its spot for a different reason, a nursery, a hunting ground, a migration route, but the pull is always the same.

For anyone who’d cross an ocean for the chance to watch a whale breach just once, get in touch with our team and we’ll help you plan a trip like this.

Step into the timeless world of Lamu, where dhows sail the Indian Ocean and donkeys outnumber cars in the narrow streets of the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The archipelago offers an opportunity to experience Kenya at a gentler pace, where culture, community and conservation remain at its heart.

Earlier this year, members of our team visited Uthando South Africa’s Goal50 Edu Hub in Heideveld, Cape Town, where we’re contributing ZAR 80,000 to expand early learning opportunities in under-resourced communities.

Built through Uthando’s Waste to Wonder initiative, Goal50 transforms discarded materials such as tyres, glass bottles and eco-bricks into innovative educational spaces. During our visit, we helped ram tyre walls, each packed with around 200kg of building rubble, and saw first-hand the skill and community spirit behind the project.

Goal50 is now entering its next phase, creating more classrooms and opportunities for local children. You can help make it happen by contributing towards a tyre, with each one costing ZAR 10,000 (around £450) to sponsor. Every contribution helps turn discarded materials into vital learning spaces and lasting opportunities for generations to come. Click the link below to donate:

Today is World Ranger Day. It's a day to honour the rangers who have been killed or injured in the line of duty, and to recognise the extraordinary people who continue to protect the world's natural and cultural treasures every single day.

Whether monitoring endangered wildlife, preventing poaching, fighting wildfires, supporting local communities or welcoming visitors into protected areas, rangers are the frontline of conservation. Their work often goes unseen, but without it, many of the places we treasure simply wouldn't exist as they do today.

We thank every ranger, everywhere.

Angola rewards travellers who enjoy quiet coastlines, meaningful cultural encounters and wild, untamed landscapes. It’s one of the few places left where travel still feels exploratory rather than curated.

Our new itinerary brings these elements together through a route shaped by Mwila culture, highland viewpoints and long, empty desert roads.

Explore our 'Southern Angola: Tribes, Highlands & Namib Desert' trip here: www.farandwild.travel/africa/angola/southern-angola-tribes-highlands-desert

Alistair, our Managing Director, reflects: “What struck me most was the sense of space and how untouched it remains. You can drive for hours through desert, highlands, and coastline without seeing another traveller”.
