    Xochimilco is such a fun and unique experience-super lively, busy, and full of food and music…read moreeverywhere. We took an uber from Mexico City to Xochimilco which is about 1 hour or so. I recommend going into the area and getting a certified boat. The trajinera prices are per boat, not per person. As of April 2026, it's about $750 pesos per hour. I'd suggest doing at least 2 hours so you can really enjoy it without rushing. While you're on the canals, you'll be approached by mariachis, locals selling food and drinks, and honestly just about anything you can think of. You can also bring your own food and drinks onto the boat, plus a speaker if you want to set the vibe. Definitely a more fun experience if you go with a group of people! Also, your best bet is to visit Coyoacan while in the area, it's about 30 mins.

    Historic fun riding on pontoon rafts called trajineras on ancient man made river beds in the heart…read moreof Mexico City. In the times of the ancient civilization these man made canals were used to keep water flow to grow crops and was a vital source for water in the region. Fast forward to modern day where the locals now offer scenic tours featuring great food and music while casually riding on the river. This is a must do tour while visiting Mexico City and even better to do at night I hear. Be sure to get yourself a Michelada to keep you cool in the warm days if partaking! Super fun all around but do watch out for the Mariachis as they can be pushy and demanding

    Want to see something super creepy? Go here…read more We went a couple days before Halloween/Dia de Los Muertos, thinking it would be a fun outing. It was! You arrive at the canals of Xochimilco, an ancient town that was once it's own city and was used as a major production of produce and agriculture. You can rent the gondola-like boats that will take you through the canals, you'll see small farmsteads still operating, boats selling house plants and tacos, pigs tied up being taking to slaughter (so sad), mariachi bands on boats singing to boats passing by, and finally, down one canal, there is, Isla de las Munecas, ominously waiting for you, dark grey, green and black hues settle into a backdrop of languid vines and drooping trees, and thousands, I mean thousands of dolls tied and fixed to trees, sides of a barn, along fence lines and on top of poles. These dolls have a deep significance that goes back many years. Story has it that a little girl drowned near the island and a man named Julian felt putting up the dolls would please her soul. Soon he felt the spirits of other girls were present so he continued to put up more dolls throughout his small island. Something like 40 years went by and hundreds and hundreds of dolls were put up to please the many spirits he felt connected to the tiny island. Sadly and equally odd, he was found drowned in the same place as the little girl was found many years before... Now another man runs the eerie island and for a few pesos he allows you to walk around and take pictures, he'll also give a short speech about the island's history in front of his rustic makeshift alter. Definitely an interesting place to visit, the whole set up of canals of Xochimilco are a great example of Mexican DF culture, colorful and vibrant, and at the same time still with austere seriousness.
