Experience Details

Discover a totally different face of Xochimilco, away from the tourist bustle and focused on natural beauty, the tranquility of the sunrise and respect for the environment. This is not the traditional Xochimilco of the trajineras; it is an intimate, ecological and sensory experience that connects you with the ancestral essence of these millennial channels


On this exclusive tour you will sail in traditional cayucos, kayak-like vessels, but larger and more comfortable, guided by expert rowers. You just relax and enjoy: you don’t have to paddle. We travel through narrow, little-traveled canals, inaccessible to common trajineras, where nature is at its purest.


You will see the sunrise reflecting off the water, surrounded by birds, akhotes, and stunning flora. This is a silent, intimate and perfect experience for those who seek something authentic, photogenic and deeply connected to the lake ecosystem.
