When you arrive at the Las Flores Nativitas pier, wait under the purple arch (with the slogan “The taste of being Mexican”), the entrance to the car park. Your guide will meet you there and take you to the “trajinera,” a traditional regional boat, previously decorated for you.

When you get on the boat, you'll be greeted with a small souvenir to take home and drinks of your choice (take advantage of the unlimited drinks!). You'll also try typical Mexican sweets, some of them made by local artisans.

You'll get to taste the most popular national drink while listening to how it's made: tequila.

You'll hear the history of the Xochimilco Canals and their importance today, while you check out the greenhouses with local flowers, depending on the season.

You'll join in our fun activities to immerse yourself in our culture, and by the end, you'll master our jargon like an expert.

You'll take a short break on a chinampa (ancestral island) to eat (1 quesadilla of your choice included), and you can use the toilet.

You'll try the sacred drink of the Mexica gods, pulque, and learn about its mystical history.

You'll be a bartender and learn how to make your own Michelada, the favourite cocktail of Mexicans.

Get your voice ready for the challenge game—you can challenge, or be challenged!

Wrap up the tour with a mezcal tasting, a must-do when hanging out with Mexican friends.

Heads up:

During the tour, you can listen to the music of your choice on a speaker at no extra cost. If you want to hire live music, there will be an extra cost, which you'll need to cover.

As it's a tourist area, you'll find food, drink, souvenir, and even clothing vendors on the canal. You'll need to pay for any extra services you buy outside the boat.
