Xochimilco: Canals, Axolotls, and Market Tour

Explore Xochimilco's canals on a trajinera and visit a chinampa. Learn about axolotl conservation, enjoy a local lunch, and explore the historic center and market.
Begin with a ride along Xochimilco’s historic canals, where your guide shares stories, oral traditions, and the cultural legacy of the chinampas. At Chinampa Refugio, explore an agroecological farming space and get close to the seasonal crops that continue to sustain this ancestral agricultural system.

Depending on availability, take part in a seasonal harvest and taste fresh local produce while discovering the aromas and flavors linked to the land. You will also visit the axolotl conservation area to learn about this iconic species and the efforts being made to protect it.

After your time on the chinampa, sit down for a chinampa-style lunch prepared with local seasonal ingredients, surrounded by the natural beauty of Xochimilco. The experience then continues into the heart of Xochimilco with a guided walk through emblematic spaces where pre-Hispanic history, the colonial period, and present-day community life meet.

Visit Xochimilco Cathedral, one of the region’s most important religious complexes, and learn how its architecture and symbols reflect layers of religious and cultural syncretism after the arrival of the Spanish. End at Xochimilco’s traditional market, a lively place filled with flowers, vegetables, local products, and everyday community life. Here, you will get to know the atmosphere of a working local market and taste traditional tlacoyos before the tour finishes.
