If you’re looking for a unique way to wrap up March, this event will interest you. There will be a horror movie marathon in Xochimilco that combines nature, mystery, and spine-chilling films all in one place.
The experience begins with the journey. Attendees will arrive by trajinera to a chinampa, where a small camp will be set up among the trees. Once there, horror movies will be screened on a giant outdoor screen, creating the perfect atmosphere for suspense lovers.
The idea is to experience a completely different kind of night in one of Mexico City’s most iconic locations. Amid the darkness of the chinampa, the sound of the water, and the nighttime atmosphere of Xochimilco, the experience promises to be far more intense than watching a movie in a traditional theater.
In addition to the movie marathon, the plan includes a night of camping, so you’ll be able to spend several hours in this natural setting. The return trip is scheduled for dawn, when the trajineras will take attendees back to the meeting point.
If you enjoy unique city experiences or are a fan of horror movies, this event combines adventure and cinema in one package. Keep in mind, however, that the organizers have noted that spots are limited, so it’s necessary to book in advance.
A unique nighttime experience in Xochimilco
Xochimilco is known for its daytime trajinera rides, but events like this aim to showcase a different side of the area. At night, the chinampas and canals transform into the perfect setting for themed activities.
In this case, the natural setting, the darkness, and the silence of the area become part of the show. So get ready for an evening full of scares, nature, and cinema.
