Book your guided kayak tour through the ancient canals of Xochimilco.

This tour is guided by a local expert who shares authentic stories, history, and traditions of Xochimilco. You’ll paddle through UNESCO-protected canals, see the vibrant wildlife, and explore the famous chinampas, which are floating gardens built by the Mexicas to grow crops. The tour is beginner-friendly and personalized, giving you a genuine window into the living culture of the area.

Our tours last 2.5–3 hours, including meet-up, briefing, and time on the water.

No worries! This tour is great for beginners. We start with a short lesson, and your guide stays with you the entire time.
