Discover La Octava in Tepoztlán, where Day of the Dead traditions continue beyond November with family altars, marigolds and music. But in Tepoztlán, a Pueblo Mágico with mountains resembling the world of “Avatar,” the farewell to the dead doesn’t end on Nov. The dead linger for another week — and while they do, the celebration continues. The term “La Octava” comes from Roman liturgy.
