If you\u2019re planning to be in Latin America towards the end of October, or want to discover some <b>terrifying destinations<\/b> all 365 days of the year, in this post we\u2019ll tell you about how Halloween is celebrated in South America and what are the best destinations to celebrate it, plus some spooky <b>stories and myths<\/b> about this day.<\/p>\n<h2>Halloween Celebrations in South America<\/h2>\n<p>Traditionally, Latin Americans celebrate the Day of the Dead, on the 1st or 2nd of November, depending on the country. But that doesn\u2019t mean Halloween isn\u2019t celebrated at all in South America.<\/p>\n<p>The 31st of October is the <b>Day of the Criollo Song<\/b> (<em>D\u00eda de la Canci\u00f3n Criolla<\/em>, in Spanish) in Peru, and Ecuador also celebrates the <b>Day of the National Coat of Arms<\/b> (<em>D\u00eda del Escudo Nacional<\/em>) on this day. However, these celebrations are both overshadowed by the pumpkins and scary costumes everywhere, which are gaining popularity every year.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9212 size-full\" title=\"Day of the National Coat of Arms celebrations in Ecuador\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dia-escudo-nacional-ecuador.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Day of the National Coat of Arms parade in Ecuador\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dia-escudo-nacional-ecuador.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/dia-escudo-nacional-ecuador.jpg?resize=448%2C300&amp;ssl=1 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>In fact, every year there are more and more Latin American countries that join in the celebrations of the traditionally American holiday.

In South America, this very special night is known as <b>The Witches\u2019 Night<\/b> (<em>La Noche de Brujas<\/em>).<\/p>\n<h2>Terrifying destinations to experience Halloween in Latin America<\/h2>\n<h3>Island of the Dead Dolls and la Conchita Church in Mexico City, Mexico<\/h3>\n<p>In the outskirts of Mexico City we can find the <b>Island of the Dead Dolls<\/b>, which currently has over 1000 dolls hanging from their trees. Legend has it that a little girl drowned in the Xochimilco canals &#8211; where this island is located. A few weeks later the caretaker of the island, Don Juli\u00e1n Santana Barrera, found a <b>doll floating in the water<\/b>, and as a sign of respect for the girl he <b>hanged it on a tree<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9214 size-full\" title=\"Some of the dolls in the Island of the Dead Dolls\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/isla-munecas-ciudad-de-mexico.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dolls hanging from a tree\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/isla-munecas-ciudad-de-mexico.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/isla-munecas-ciudad-de-mexico.jpg?resize=448%2C300&amp;ssl=1 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Little by little more dolls were found over 50 years, until one day Don Juli\u00e1n\u2019s lifeless body was found in the <b>same spot where the little girl passed away<\/b>.

It is said that, at night, you can see the <b>Conchita Monk<\/b> rounding the church plaza among a cloud of ashes. Do you dare visit him?<\/p>\n<h3>Humberstone and Death Valley in Chile<\/h3>\n<p>You probably know that, when you visit Chile, some of the must experiences are a <a title=\"Guided Torres del Paine W Trek Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/puerto-natales\/torres-del-paine-w-trek-shared\">trek through Torres del Paine<\/a> or a <a title=\"Easter Island 4 day tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/easter-island\/easter-island\">visit to the Easter Island<\/a>, but&#8230; have you heard about <b>Humberstone and its dark past<\/b>?<br \/>\nIn the Atacama desert we can find an <b>old ghost mining town<\/b>. It\u2019s Humberstone, named after a British chemist who immigrated to Latin America in 1875 to exploit saltpeter, known in the time as \u201cwhite gold\u201d. (If you want to know more about this precious substance, you can\u2019t miss a <a title=\"Uyuni Salt Flats tour from San Pedro de Atacama\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/uyuni-salt-flats-4d-tour\">visit to the Uyuni Salt Flats<\/a>, in Bolivia, very close to the Peru border).<br \/>\nThe workers, however, were overworked and lived in <b>very bad conditions<\/b>, and had no contact with the rest of the country. Saltpeter was very important for the Chilean economy, but during the First World War the British banned all imports on this substance, and in little time it stopped being needed.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9216 size-full\" title=\"Humberstone, ghost town\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/humberstone-pueblo-fantasma-chile.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Old train in Humberstone\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/humberstone-pueblo-fantasma-chile.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/humberstone-pueblo-fantasma-chile.jpg?resize=448%2C300&amp;ssl=1 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center>Nowadays, Humberstone, like many other mining towns in the area, is a <b>ghost town<\/b>. But, thanks to the dry desert air it has stayed <b>well-preserved<\/b>, so we can still wander its streets and visit the theater, the church or the hotel like we\u2019re in the golden era of saltpeter. If we\u2019re lucky, we might even have a nice conversation with some of the old townies&#8230;<br \/>\nYes, you read that right. Many visitors say that they can feel the <b>presence of the miners<\/b> who died for that white gold, and hear their moaning near the mines. But a few go as far to say that they <b>talked to people who looked like they came from a different time<\/b>, and only realized what really happened when they took a step back and watched them disappear into thin air.<br \/>\n5 hours from Humberstone we can find <a title=\"The Red Planet of San Pedro de Atacama\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/chile\/what-to-see-san-pedro-atacama\/\">San Pedro de Atacama<\/a>, so why not combine Humberstone with a visit to the <a title=\"Moon Valley &amp; Death Valley Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/moon-valley\">Death Valley<\/a> &#8211; which isn\u2019t as horrifying as its name suggests (it comes from a wordplay with the word Marte, Mars in Spanish, similar to Muerte, Death in Spanish) but its red, extraterrestrial rocks will leave you with an open mouth anyway.<\/p>\n<h3>Villa Epecu\u00e9n ruins and the Ecological Reserve in Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/h3>\n<p>In the south of the province of <a title=\"Buenos Aires sightseeing tour + Boat trip\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-argentina\/buenos-aires\/buenos-aires-sightseeing-boat-trip\">Buenos Aires<\/a>, in Argentina, we can find the <b>ruins of Villa Epecu\u00e9n<\/b>, an upscale touristic town built towards the middle of the XX century. But a little while after its construction, the entire town was left completely <b>covered by water<\/b> after a heavy flood.<br \/>\nAfter being fully underwater for two decades, one day <b>all water completely evaporated<\/b>, with no logical explanation, which led to all kinds of myths and legends to be created around the mysterious town. But legend or not, visitors are always shocked after watching the horror in Villa Epecu\u00e9n\u2019s streets and buildings, and some even claim they heard screams from the beyond.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9218\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/villa-epecuen-argentina.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" title=\"Old slaughterhouse in ruins in Villa Epecu\u00e9n\" alt=\"Old slaughterhouse in ruins in Villa Epecu\u00e9n\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/villa-epecuen-argentina.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/villa-epecuen-argentina.jpg?resize=448%2C300&amp;ssl=1 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in nature, apart from <a title=\"Guided minitrekking in Perito Moreno\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-argentina\/el-calafate\/minitrekking-perito-moreno\">trekking on Perito Moreno<\/a> in your trip to Argentina, you might want to <a title=\"Ecological\" href=\"https:\/\/turismo.buenosaires.gob.ar\/en\/otros-establecimientos\/ecological-reserve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">visit the Ecological Reserve of Buenos Aires<\/a> to wind down after visiting Villa Epecu\u00e9n. With <b>350 hectares of green zones and over 2000 plant and animal species<\/b>, it\u2019s the perfect place to escape from the spirits of the beyond.<br \/>\nBut be careful, because among all those different species, it\u2019s impossible to know what all of them are. As the story goes, there\u2019s an animal living in the river shore, with rat characteristics and dog size, that <b>feeds on human flesh<\/b> and follows those who are just taking a nice stroll around the Reserve. There\u2019s nothing confirmed about this monster, but we recommend staying alert if you decide to walk around the habitat of <b>Reservito<\/b>&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Saint Francis Catacombs and Matusita House in Lima, Peru<\/h3>\n<p>You might have planned a <a title=\"Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/sacred-valley-machu-picchu\">trip to Machu Picchu<\/a>, but\u2026 have you ever thought about visiting the Peruvian catacombs? If you\u2019ve never visited any catacombs, it\u2019s one of those experiences you have to have once in your life, even if you\u2019re not really a fan of paranormal or creepy stuff. The Saint Francis Monastery (Bas\u00edlica y Convento de San Francisco, in Spanish) has, underneath the chapel, a series of corridors that connect several chambers containing the mortal remains of the members of the Franciscan order members in Lima.<\/p>\n<p>In these chambers we can find skulls and all kinds of bones dating from the XVII century, and an impressive ossuary that\u2019s 10 meters deep. The catacombs will take us through a dark and enigmatic journey charged with a very strange energy\u2026 do you dare visit it?<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9220\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/catacumbas-san-francisco-peru.jpg?resize=600%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" title=\" Catacombs of San Francisco\" alt=\"Sculpture with human remains in the catacombs of San Francisco\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/catacumbas-san-francisco-peru.jpg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/catacumbas-san-francisco-peru.jpg?resize=448%2C300&amp;ssl=1 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>After leaving the insides of this church and going back to the light of day, what better plan than visiting <b>the most enchanted house of Latin America<\/b>? Yes, we\u2019re talking about the <b>Matusita House<\/b>, located between the avenues of Garcilaso de la Vega and Espa\u00f1a. This is a very important stop, since the old wall of Lima used to be here, and the main jail of the city, also known as the <b>Pan\u00f3ptico of Lima<\/b>, right in front of the house.<\/p>\n<p>There are many stories that try to explain why this house is enchanted, but the fact is the Matusita House has a <b>few victims<\/b>, including a priest who tried to exorcise it or a television showman who wanted to film the inside of the house, but didn\u2019t succeed. Nowadays, the first floor of the house is a bank office, and the second floor, where all the <b>paranormal activities<\/b> happened, is uninhabited and closed to the public, presumably to protect it.
