Xochimilco: Market, Food and Nature ¡All included! Tour

Xochimilco: Market, Food and Nature ¡All included! Tour

Overall, the experience is divided into two central moments; a shopping expedition in the markets and a cooking class on a boat trip through Xocmilco’s stunning floating gardens (Chinampas). The journey We offer a pick-up service from Condesa to downtown Xochimilco. The pick-up is often scheduled at 9:oo am. Upon your arrival at Dalia Restaurant, I welcome you with a hot traditional coffee and toast. It is worth mentioning that Dalia Restaurant is also a women’s cultural collective selling artisanal products. The markets We will go through the iconic hustle and bustle of a Mexican market. But, this market is unique because all greens are harvested from the Chinampas. There, we’ll buy fresh cheese, vegetables, and handmade tortillas, among other ingredients, for our lunch (Tlapique). The boat trip We’ll ride a bike taxi from the markets to the pier Fernando Celada, one of the most important piers with access to the natural reserve, which is perfect for appreciating the landscape and its flora and fauna. We board a Trajinera (traditional colourful boat) and explore the mesmerising canals there. The cooking class While cruising along the canals between ancient chinampas, we’ll cook (and then eat) a local delicacy, a tamal called Tlapique. Then, wearing my traditional clothes, I’ll recount the history, symbolism, and meaning of my dressings and some regional legends, myths, and traditions. The Sanctuary What would it be to visit Xochimilco without knowing the Axolotl? So, before we end our journey, we will stop by an Axolotl sanctuary. Axolotls are Xochimilco’s endemic salamanders, sadly endangered, though extensively used in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate limbs, gills and brains. Last but not least We’ll then wrap up the experience with a ‘Toritos’ toast (fruit juice with mezcal) and finish the tour at 1h30pm at Dalai; from there, you can wait for your ride or move on to your next destination or maybe keep exploring the fantastic centre of Xochimilco.

We started off with a visit to the SIlver shop which was honestly the weakest part of the trip. From then on the visit to Xochimilco - the decorative boat ride with the amazing oarsmen, the food being served, the mariachi band were excellent. From there we visited the UNAM and the Olympic stadium which was a short visit. Next up was a visit to Cayoacan and the Frida Kahlo museum. Cayoacan is a very small colorful historical town with good food and churro options - and then the piece de resistance was the visit to the Museum. Our guide David was very good - he is very passionate about his history and it shows. It's a long day - almost 9-10 hours - and if they could cut out the silver store and maybe compressed the 2 hours spent before Frida Kahlo - it would be 7-8 hours and then really be a fantastic tour Overall great value for money - highly recommend David and the Amigos LATAM Tour company

The day trip was pretty good and our guide Yair was amazing! He had a lot of knowledge about all the places and all the history related to it. Overall it was a good experience, however it would have been better if they spent less time in Coyoacan and more time in Xochimilco. Xochimilco tour was only one hour and it wasn’t enough to experience it properly

5 out of 5 stars

The trip was amazing and so much knowledge and experience from our guide Ruben! He made the tour incredible with his knowledge and history of everything, he truly loves his job and it showed with the amount of information he shared. Everything was worth it, everyone should do this tour!

5 out of 5 stars

Yair and Miriam were great guides, both had a wealth of knowledge during the entire tour. It's a great tour that explains a lot of the art history of Mexico, followed by a very fun boat ride.

The guide was a great communicator and the information received was very clear. We would have liked to have a 45 min at the Coyoacan market. Thanks to the guide and driver
