As the sun sets on November 2nd in the quiet borough of San Andrés Mixquic, the local cemetery begins to glow. Hundreds of candles flicker to life. Marigold petals form glowing pathways. The air is thick with the scent of copal incense and tamales. But this is no ordinary cemetery visit — this is a sleepover with the dead.

Some places don’t need grand introductions — they just need to be seen. Emerald Lake in British Columbia is one of those places. Nestled deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, this glacial lake glows with a turquoise hue so intense, it almost looks photoshopped. But it’s real, oh-so-real — and it’s calling your name.
