When we think of Halloween we immediately come up with scary costumes, parties, candy, pumpkins or scary movies. But what to do in Halloween in South America? Halloween festivities are part of the tradition of several generations of Latin American youth and adults. Although it is considered a pagan feast and we have not grown up with the custom of celebrating the day of witches, somehow we grew up with the influence of foreign television, so that in many countries, it is common to find children disguised in school events or asking for sweets in the street, and adults looking for the best Halloween parties especially in the capitals of South America. From there the customs have spread: it is common to find good Halloween parties throughout the continent. So if you are one of those travelers who hasn’t found a good party or any other Halloween craze, we invite you to read our list of recommended events across the region.

  The Argentine 'hermanos' (Andy Muschietti and Bárbara) may be the South Americans with the most resistance to influences coming from the north. Argentina's anti-imperialist tradition dates back to long before Perón or the birth of Che Guevara, certainly from the time of wars against Spain and England in the 19th century. Even so, Buenos Aires is a city where you find absolutely everything, EVERYTHING! From a night marathon through the City of Fury to a tour of the best bars and bowling alleys. In Buenos Aires what you will never lack are things to do.

  Did you know that in Brazil the 31st of October is officially Saci Day? This tradition has developed in the country since a law was passed in Congress, this date would be for Brazilians as important or equivalent to the day of witches. In fact, every October, through the walls of several cities it is possible to read graffiti that shows their discontent with the celebration of Halloween, and others more allegorical where we can find a dye with more identity as long live the national culture! In any case if we always like a good celebration, we also have with us a great pride of our cultural identities. There are plenty of reasons to want to spontaneously enjoy Halloween and its fun themes in Rio. In São Paulo it's more like that: thousands of people creating a totally different atmosphere, with a great style and a lot of electronic music. Choose the style that best identifies you!   Trick or Treat - Monster Edition Rio de Janeiro, Saturday 2 November, starting at 10 p.m. Day of the Dead with Tomasa Del Real and Batekoo São Paulo, Friday 1 November, from 22h

  The land of mate and Pepe Mujica doesn’t have very strong ties to this history of Halloween. Uruguayans prefer to eat a good asado, go to a soccer game, play games, or talk quietly around a wood stove. But in Punta del Este, there is always an Option B that gives you the possibility to do something outside the norm. On Halloween, the exclusive spa event is held for the chance to step foot on the red carpet at the Ocean Club nightclub party.
