Haven’t been to the trajineras for a while? Now you can do it in the Xochimilco Christmas Tour, because we assure you that you have not lived a similar experience.
Now Santa Claus has arrived to Xochimilco and in a trajinera to share with you the best that this area has to offer. And if you are one of those who are already dying of excitement to sing Mi Burrito Sabanero at the top of your lungs, this is a seasonal activity not to be missed.
On this tour you can listen to Christmas carols, visit a poinsettia nursery, but the best part is that with your donation you will be supporting the communities and entrepreneurs of the region.
More about the Christmas Tour in Xochimilco
What awaits you on the Xochimilco Christmas Tour? A ride through the emblematic canals of Xochimilco aboard a Christmas trajinera.
You will taste typical sweets, made by artisans from Santa Cruz Acalpixca, one of the 14 original towns of Xochimilco, as well as a delicious full meal, prepared by cooks from the region.
And to make us even happier, there will be a tasting of seasonal cured pulques, where you will be guided through a tasting accompanied by facts, myths and realities surrounding this mythical drink.
The experience doesn’t stop there, as you will visit the home of the salamander and learn more about this amphibian from locals who know this beautiful animal species.
If you are a plant lady, you will fall into madness when you visit a poinsettia flower nursery, where the florists will explain everything about this seasonal flower and you can buy as many as you want to decorate your house.
And to end the tour, Mrs. Claus will be visiting to give you a good dose of music! It will be a live concert by guest singers performing the best of Christmas carols and more, while you try a couple of craft beers and watch the sunset.
