Land of the living: The land of the living is the dwelling place for this who are still alive. Those who have passed on to the land of the dead yearn to return there, which they may do on one special day the year, Dia de los Muertos. Yet this return visit may only happen if a living person still remembers them. That is why from generation to generation, those who exist in the land of the living keep the memories of departed loved ones alive
You can also see pictures of Miguel and Dantes arrival into the land of the dead, Ernesto De la Cruz, Mama Imelda, crossing the marigold bridge, Hector and A family reunion.
