Discover a totally different face of Xochimilco, away from the tourist bustle and focused on natural beauty, the tranquility of the sunrise and respect for the environment. This is not the traditional Xochimilco of the trajineras; it is an intimate, ecological and sensory experience that connects you with the ancestral essence of these millennial channels On this exclusive tour you will sail in traditional cayucos, kayak-like vessels, but larger and more comfortable, guided by expert rowers. You just relax and enjoy: you don’t have to paddle. We travel through narrow, little-traveled canals, inaccessible to common trajineras, where nature is at its purest. You will see the sunrise reflecting off the water, surrounded by birds, akhotes, and stunning flora. This is a silent, intimate and perfect experience for those who seek something authentic, photogenic and deeply connected to the lake ecosystem.

It was truly incredible!!! I would recommend this to anyone, but particularly people interested in plants, birds, or history. Our guide Marcos, was fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable and our driver Genaro was very friendly!
By far one of the best sites in Mexico City. Beautiful scenery and educational trip. Words and pictures can't show you what you will see on this sunrise trip. Would highly recommend. Don't miss it.

Amazing experience. At first I was a bit skeptical because of the price since it seemed a bit hefty, but every dollar was worth it. They provided clean and comfortable transportation ensuring we reached our destinations. The hot air balloon experience took about 45 minutes and included beautiful views of what was once a thriving Aztec civilization. Staff were attentive and it never felt crowded, as they accounted for all the folks enjoying the experience.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to know the experience exceeded your expectations and that everything came together to make your day a memorable one. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
