Enjoy a visit to the Cuemanco Ecological Pier, located in the historic and natural area of Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Aboard a traditional trajinera, a colorful flat-bottomed boat navigated by local boatmen, we will travel through ancient canals to learn about the pre-Hispanic system of chinampas—floating islands used for agricultural cultivation—as well as the Canal Nacional.
If time allows, we will stop at sites of interest such as greenhouses, serpentariums, axolotl sanctuaries, and the famous Island of the Dolls.
The tour concludes with a visit to the Xochimilco Plant and Handicraft Market.
