Overview
Hello! We are Pies Descalzos, originally from Xochimilco. We would love to share with you the richness of our town, starting with the gastronomy and the artificial islands designed for planting: the chinampas. We will travel by trajinera (big canoe) and tell you all about the history of Xochimilco. We will stop on an island to explain the ancestral cultivation technique developed in this place, unique in the world and part of the world's agricultural heritage. We will tell you about the flower, the fauna and we will take you to meet the axolotl.
