There are a bunch of shops and places to eat, people will try to sell you things and convince you to join a boat tour. The canals get so crowded because of the amount of boats that there is huge traffic. Our guide mentioned sometimes there is a standstill because of this. Once you're on the boat, people will try and sell you drinks, food, souvenirs and mariachis will ask if you would like live music. You can stop at touristy things like seeing axolotl and reptiles. Definitely some tourist traps, but it's worth it haha. I paid extra to hold some snakes and got some cute souvenirs, which were a reasonable price. Book an organized tour if you can !

My partner and I wanted to visit the canals of Xochimilco…read more If you don't read the rest, know that this is the legit embarcadero of to go for trajineras and touring the canals of Xochimilco when visiting Mexico City. It's the same one they visited on a former season of Amazing Race! We knew it was going to take an Uber ride (~$9USD) and ~45 minutes to get there. What we didn't know is there are guys on bicycles that will try to con your driver into taking you to an alternative boat landing where they, according to travel blogs, either rob you or charge you more. Thankfully I speak Spanish and could understand what was going on. While I considered listening, I quickly Googled what was being said--the road is shut down and there's an alternative and better embarcadero that can be accessed by taking a different route--and learned that it wasn't legit. I was able to reassure our driver to follow the Uber/map instructions and also tell the guy on the bike off. He still persisted and followed us for a few miles until we took the final turn on the road to Embarcadero Nativitas. Anyway, the boats are well-kept, the time out in the canals was as long/longer than we paid for, and the prices were very fair (and negotiable). The whole place is the same company so any of the people that approach you about boats are there for the same place. We brought our own beers and took a two-hour ride and it was so nice. You can also buy food and drinks from vendors on the water. And you can bring a portable speaker/play music, too. We legit had the best time taking in the whole experience. You can stop along the way to use restrooms (highly recommend clocking them on your way out so you know where they are on your way back in and don't pee your pants). Don't forget to bring some coins along to pay the bathroom fee, too.

One of my favorite places in the world! I was in AWE coming here and seeing such beautiful…read moregreenery... it felt magical. Also, Viveros de Coyoacán has the widest variety of squirrels I've ever experienced. Like seriously, I thought Google Maps was joking, but there were black, brown, red squirrels, I don't even know. They scurried up and down trees like ants. It was insane. Check out the cactus, hedge-lined paths, and open spaces. The park is impressively clean, and I'm actually learning a ton about this place through other Yelp reviews. Apparently it's a tree nursery to reforest the city. Come here for some quiet time, whether a few minutes or a few hours. Take a break from all the hubbub, and kick it with the squirrels.

It's a nice park - definitely would be great for locals who want a place to run, walk, or exercise (we saw a lot of runners in Viveros)! It's not as great of a park for tourists to explore (unlike more touristy parks - with gorgeous fountains and memorials), but it's a pretty place for a walk. We figured it was a nicer walk to go through the park to get from the center of Coyoacan to the metro station, but you can't exit wherever you like (there are certain entrance/exit points to the park). A nice place for a walk though!

Wonderful park and playground…read more We went to Mexico City last week with our 6 year old son. We walked here to Parque Lincoln for our son to blow off some steam. It's a big park, with several cool things to see. There's a huge playground that was filled with families, inside the playground is a clean pay bathroom. There's a small, cheap, but lovely aviary. We saw so many pretty and cool birds! The Aviary was $8Pesos per person, or about $2US total for the 3 of us. It is remarkable how much better things can be cheaply and easily with warmer weather. There's a fountain/pond area, and there were remote control boats for rent the first day we went (but we didn't have any Pesos yet, so we didn't get to do it).

It is actually the first park that I have found in the city that has a basketball court. The playground is huge, although some of the swings and slides are still the old school metal type. It also appeared that there were once bathroom facilities that have long since closed down. The dog park section seemed large as well, and it is enclosed. I didn't see any dogs when I walked thru here. This place is much more than a wonderful garden. In fact, I think it's a great fit for this neighborhood. There were more than two dozen people having fun here as I walked through.
