Uncover the heart and soul of México through Xochimilco’s markets, native food, and beautiful canals while buying all the ingredients to prepare a traditional tamal called Tlapique.
Overall, the experience is divided into two central moments; a shopping expedition in the markets and a cooking class on a boat trip through Xochimilco’s stunning floating gardens (Chinampas).
We’ll ride a bike taxi from the markets to the pier, one of the most important piers with access to the natural reserve, which is perfect for appreciating the landscape and its flora and fauna. We board a Trajinera (traditional colourful boat) and explore the mesmerising canals there. While cruising along the canals between ancient chinampas, we’ll cook (and then eat) a local delicacy, a tamal called Tlapique. Then, wearing my traditional clothes, I’ll recount the history, symbolism, and some regional legends, myths, and traditions. What would it be to visit Xochimilco without knowing the Axolotl? So, before we end our journey, we will stop by an Axolotl sanctuary. Axolotls are Xochimilco’s endemic salamanders, sadly endangered
