Xochimilco is famous for its canals-a network that used to stretch to the city center in ancient times. But it’s a fabulous place to eat, too, filled with produce that’s more vibrant and delicious than what you’d see elsewhere in Mexico City. On this tour, we’ll take you to the best spots to eat, and open your eyes to this region’s unique food culture and identity. After all the eating and walking, we will take a relaxing ride in the “trajinera”, the famous colorful boats that float around the canals of Xochimilco. Enjoy the one hour ride with a beer or a michelada prepared with salt, lime juice and chamoy (a salty, sweet and sour salsa added to the rim of the cup). You’ll learn the history of Xochimilco and why it was so important in the founding of Mexico City. If you’re looking for a different kind of experience in Mexico City, one that takes you out of the urban heart and into an area with a more small-town feel, this is the tour for you!
