We know that Day of the Dead is just around the corner because the air already smells of those orange flowers so representative of the season of the dead. And if you want to immerse yourself in all the magic and traditional aroma of this crop, take a tour of the cempasúchil fields on a tractor in CDMX.
During this free experience you will get to know the wonderful crops of local producers that make it possible for the flower to reach all the ofrendas and homes during the season of the dead.
When and where can you take the cempasúchil field tour by tractor?
Haven’t gotten your traditional flowers or want to learn more about how they are grown in the capital? Then take the Sendero de las Almas tour , a spectacular adventure that will make you feel like you are inside the Mictlán.
Save the date! The tour of cempasúchil fields in CDMX will be on October 25 and 26; the starting point is the San Luis Tlaxialtemalco market, in Xochimilco.
In addition to being able to buy your cempasúchil, this agrotourism route by tractor will take you to the places where the flower is created in the capital so you can meet its local producers.
You will also be able to enjoy beautiful landscapes full of color, delicious aromas and see the tradition up close through the iconic flower of the dead. Departure times are every half hour, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
If you want a Day of the Dead plan that shows you the roots and culture of the cempasúchil, get on the tractor of this tour that will immerse you in the important crops of Mexico City.
The best part? This experience without leaving the city is totally free, so without spending more than your ticket to the departure point, go to the route that promises to make us appreciate the meaning of the marigold through the work of Mexican farmers.
