Trajineras Xochimilco
Xochimilco is one of the most emblematic places in Mexico City and a World Heritage Site. In this experience you will sail aboard a colorful traditional trajinera for about 1 hour through its canals surrounded by chinampas (floating islands). During the tour you can enjoy live music (mariachis, trios or marimbas), buy cravings, flowers or crafts from other trajineras, and soak up the festive atmosphere that characterizes it. It is a time to relax, take unique photos and live a centuries-old tradition. Our guide will explain the origin of this site and answer any questions. An ideal activity for all ages, perfect for those looking for a connection between nature, culture and the living history of Mexico.
Coyoacan
After the ride in Xochimilco, we will move to Coyoacán, one of the most beautiful and traditional neighborhoods of Mexico City. Our guide will take you on a walking tour to discover its cobblestone streets, squares, colonial churches and spaces full of art and culture. You will know the history of this iconic place, its famous characters, and you can visit its famous market where you will find crafts, books, typical sweets and dishes such as toast, churros and hot chocolate. Plus, you’ll have free time to take photos, explore on your own, or just relax on one of its colorful benches. Coyoacán is the cultural heart of the south of the city, with a bohemian and welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel like in a small town within the big city.
Museo Frida Kahlo
We finish with a very special stop in front of one of the most visited places in Mexico: the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as La Casa Azul. This tour includes an outside stop so you can take a photograph in front of its iconic cobalt blue facade and learn about Frida Kahlo’s life, her home and her artistic legacy. If you just want to take your picture and listen to the guide's explanation, the estimated stop time is 15 minutes. In case you want to enter on your own, you must have a previously purchased ticket, and the tour inside the museum takes about 1 1/2 hours. Admission is not included in this tour, but our guide will be able to guide you if you decide to return another day. An ideal stop to bring you a unique memory of the most iconic Mexican artist.
