Discover the peaceful side of Xochimilco on a 3-hour boat tour through the ecological reserve, far from the crowded party boats and central canals.
This experience is designed to preserve a calm and personal atmosphere. In many cases, the boat hosts only one booking (private). On busier days, it may be shared with a very small number of guests (max 6), always maintaining a relaxed and uncrowded environment.
As you glide through the quiet canals of this UNESCO-recognized landscape, your local guide shares insights into the ancient chinampa agricultural system, native flora and fauna, local traditions, and the historical use of these waterways for farming, transport, celebrations, and filmmaking.
The tour includes entrance to an axolotl sanctuary, where you’ll learn about this unique and endangered species native to Xochimilco.
Along the way, enjoy traditional Mexican corn-based snacks and refreshments while taking in the natural surroundings.
This is not a party tour. It is a nature and culture-focused Xochimilco boat experience for travellers looking to explore the authentic ecological reserve.
If your group has more than 6 guests, please contact us before booking — we’re happy to accommodate larger groups upon request.
