Overview

You’ll visit the floating flower gardens of Xochimilco with one of our hosts, who also happens to be an archaeologist! The islands you’ll discover here are the last vestige of the ancient Aztec’s agricultural system. These canals used to create an intricate system of irrigation waterways. This promises to be an experience for the senses, as you visit the vibrant Xochimilco market and feast on pre-hispanic cuisine.

Personalization and flexibility are key to this experience. You can totally customize your experience as you would like. The meeting place and timing are also flexible.

Enjoy this heritage site at your own speed with an extremely engaging and knowledgeable local guide who also has specific archaeological expertise.
