On this tour we'll visit the last prehispanic canals in Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Mexico City's 16 neighbourhoods. You'll marvel at a sight of about 3000 very colourful boats docked on clear waters, all with ladies' names. But it's not only the boats that are colourful: as we explore the area, we'll come across colourful locals, from artisans to Mariachis! You may even get the chance to taste tequila, pulque or mezcal here! This place has been open to the public for over half a century now, but before the Mexican Revolution it was off limits to anyone other than rich people. It's now as popular a place as ever, especially during weekends, where many families spend the day around the water. Besides the canals, we'll visit Coyoacan too, also known as the place of the coyotes. It is considered to be the first village in the American continent, founded in 1531. In addition to that, we'll visit the Frida Kahlo and Anahuacalli museums, the murals at the UNAM and more!
