Overview

  • Experience Xochimilco’s wetlands at sunrise aboard a traditional cayuco, a quiet local boat that allows you to observe birds in their natural habitat. Guided by an experienced biologist, you’ll explore remote canals, observe resident and migratory bird species, and have the opportunity to spot the iconic axolotl in its natural habitat. You’ll also visit a fully organic chinampa and discover the area’s unique biodiversity and cultural heritage. Enjoy organic coffee, tea, and amaranth cookies, followed by a traditional meal prepared with fresh, locally grown ingredients. More than a boat ride, this immersive experience connects you with Xochimilco’s natural and cultural heritage while supporting local communities and wetland conservation.
