Here is one of the graves on the roadside on the way to Samaipata.
All the graves are above ground and now they are cleaned up and all have wreaths on them.
Here is a stand selling the paper flower wreaths that are placed on the graves.November 1 was Day of the Dead here and November 2nd was Memorial Day so we did not have school. On Thursday and Friday families go to the cemeteries and clean the graves. They also bring food, many times whatever favorites their loved ones who had passed away loved when they were alive. The family gathers around the grave and eat the meal and spend time with their loved ones in the cemetery.
