What makes this experience unique is not just the destination—it's that this tour is operated by local people who were born and raised in these canals.
You board the ship with everything sorted: unlimited drinks—beer, tequila, mezcal, michelada, and margarita—authentic Mexican food with options for everyone, from chicken tacos to vegan garden salad, traditional sweets, fresh popcorn, and purified water.
The hibiscus flower that fills your tacos grows in the same channels you navigate. The lettuce in your salad comes from our own land. It's not marketing—it's real Xochimilco, told by those who live it
All inclusive. You don't need to bring extra money, you don't need to look for food outside, you don't need to worry about anything. It only arrives.
And at the end of the tour, no one chases you with a tray. Tips are never mandatory or requested — because we adapt to our visitors
A complete and surprise-free local tour. Entrance to bathrooms available no cost

1Floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Xochimilco is one of Mexico City’s most iconic destinations — a network of ancient canals and floating gardens declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built by Aztec civilization as an agricultural system of chinampas, these artificial islands continue to produce food for the city to this day. On board a traditional trajinera, you will discover a world at your own pace: boat vendors, families celebrating on the water and mariachis filling the air with the unmistakable sound of Mexico. Xochimilco is not a theme park — it is a living fragment of pre-Hispanic civilization that has survived conquest and time. By joining our tour, you enter the heart of Mexican culture, guided by people who know these waters and carry them in their souls.
