If you’re looking for an adventure in nature that doesn’t take you far from Mexico City, don’t miss the incredible Rutas del Campo in the Xochimilco and Tláhuac boroughs. This is an experience where you can discover our city’s conservation lands, explore the chinampa area, and get an up-close look at how the food that ends up on your table is produced.
These tours are led by farming families, so you’ll have the opportunity to learn about agroecological practices directly from experts.
You can choose from a variety of experiences that will introduce you to the world of bees, farming in the chinampas and their agricultural systems, or a tour of the greenhouses in Tláhuac. It’s worth noting that you’ll be able to participate in the usual activities at the location you visit, as well as sample recipes prepared with the harvested produce.
Most of these tours last between 7 and 8 hours, include transportation, and meet at the Viveros de Coyoacán.
Plus, to ensure you’ll never forget these adventures, you can purchase your Rutas del Campo Passport—a special document to record the tours you visit and preserve the memories, knowledge, and flavors of each experience.
How much do the tours cost?
The general cost per person is $1,300, and you must reserve in advance, as space is limited.
