Experience the canals of Xochimilco

As your group drifts through the ancient waters, watch local vendors selling crafts and flowers from boats, just as they have for generations. Snap photos, enjoy the lively ambiance and learn about Xochimilco’s role in Mexico's history and culture.

Discover stories of local artists and writers who once called this neighborhood home, and perhaps pick up a unique handcrafted souvenir. Your guide will recommend top spots if you wish to sample authentic tacos or traditional dishes during your free lunchtime.
