Itinerary

XOCHIMILCO FOOD TOUR & BOAT RIDE

Morning Market Adventure

Start your journey at Xochimilco’s bustling downtown market, where vibrant stalls overflow with just-picked local produce. Watch women meticulously press tortillas and make tlacoyos, and breathe in the scents of fresh fruit and sizzling meats.

Street Eats & Traditional Flavours

Stroll the market aisles with your guide, tasting curated local favourites: tender barbacoa tacos slow-cooked underground for 8 hours, fluffy elotes dressed in cheese and chilies, and golden flan made with farm-fresh milk. Sip refreshing aguas frescas and discover savory quesadillas, all bursting with authentic flavor.

Ancestral Drinks at the Pulquería

Step inside one of Xochimilco’s last traditional pulquerías. Here, you’ll sample pulque—the ancient, slightly tangy beverage made from fermented maguey sap. Try unique flavors like mango, guava, or marigold, available based on the season.

Colourful Canal Cruise

Hop aboard a vibrant trajinera, the iconic painted boats of Xochimilco, for a leisurely hour-long ride along historic canals. Enjoy a cold beer or a tangy michelada with chamoy on the rim as you float past lush scenery and lively boats.

A Taste of Local History

Throughout the day, your guide weaves in Xochimilco’s rich history—from its origins as the city’s breadbasket to its essential role in the founding of Mexico City, giving this tour the feel of both a feast and a fascinating story.
