The journey
Enter one of the most amazing areas of the city and discover Xochimilco, an icon of the capital full of history, tradition, and culture, with remains of pre-Hispanic times. Kayak through the canals as they did in the old days in canoes, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the sight of native and migrant birds. Learn about the richness of this place through its artificial islands called chinampas, the ancient farming techniques still used for planting, and the axolotl. Depending on the departure time, enjoy the sun rising between the volcanoes or setting behind the mountains.
