Xochimilco Ecotourism at Dawn in Canoe and Organic Breakfast
Xochimilco is a unique ecological reserve, renowned for its natural wealth, historical legacy and deep cultural roots. In its waters sailed and worked the ancient Mexica peoples, developing an ingenious agricultural system.
Experience Xochimilco from another perspective: aboard a traditional boat (cayuco), guided by a local person who will take you through the Xochimilco canals at dawn. Enjoy the scenery as the sun rises, watch birds and other native species, and get up close with chinampas, an ancestral farming system still in place. To close the tour, taste an organic breakfast harvested in the same region.
