Overview
Forget the party boats full of tourists and alcohol. Discover the real Xochimilco, sailing by boat through an incredible ecosystem of pre-Hispanic canals and floating islands, a journey back in time to see what Mexico City looked like in indigenous times. We will do bird watching and visit a floating island to learn about a sustainable farm that has been passed down through several generations. You will learn about the ancestral farming technique, we will harvest and have an agroecological breakfast. You will meet one of the rarest species in the world, endemic to Xochimilco: the axolotl.
This experience is an immersion into the intimacy and heart of one of the most authentic and magical places in Mexico City. For nature-loving travellers and curious minds who want to discover and learn about the history and ecology of this World Heritage Site instead of partying.
