Delve into one of the most amazing areas of Mexico City, which preserves the remains of the indigenous era. We will kayak and take a trip back in time where you can appreciate what the city looked like when it was still a lake full of floating islands designed by the Xochimilcas.
We will stop at one of these islands to teach you the ancestral farming technique and you will be able to meet one of the rarest and most incredible species in the world, native to this magical place: the axolotl.
Navigating the canals will be an experience of contemplation and introspection. This is a tour for nature lovers and those looking to live something meaningful on their travels. For those who want to delve into pre-Hispanic culture, learn and have a deeply enriching experience rather than a day of partying and alcohol.
