On this tour, we will visit one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and other culturally significant locations in Mexico City, plus listen to traditional music and taste local food. Xochimilco is famous for its floating gardens, known as "chinampas" which were created by the Aztecs. These artificial islands were used for agriculture millennia ago, and are still used today. Also, Xochimilco has a rich cultural heritage, dating back to the Aztec and pre-Aztec periods. It's considered the oldest continuously inhabited area in Mexico City. The canals and floating gardens of Xochimilco are an essential part of the city's ecosystem, providing a habitat for various plant and animal species. Overall, Xochimilco is a unique and fascinating place that offers a glimpse into Mexico's rich history, culture, and natural beauty.
·The tour will begin at one of Mexico City's oldest churches, San Bernardino de Siena. ·Next, we'll head to the Xochimilco market, where we'll come across beautiful flowers and local delicacies being offered. ·If you'd like, we could have breakfast in the market, or simply pass by one of the venues to get some beverages to take with us to the boat we'll get on next. ·We'll proceed to get on board the Trajinera, where we'll greet its conductor and depart into the lake. ·As we sail through the canals, we'll come across beautiful floating gardens, and we may even see Mariachis along our way! ·If you'd like, we could also step off our boat for a while, so you can experience what it feels like to be on a chinampa, where you could even taste some traditional drinks! ·If you dare, we could also approach a doll island, and I'll tell you about the myths that surround it. ·At last, we'll return to where we departed from, finishing our tour.
