Are you looking for a romantic and magical experience without having to leave Mexico City? This Valentine’s Day event in Xochimilco will be an experience that you and your favorite person will remember forever, because on February 14, the canals will be transformed into a nighttime setting full of light, music, and wishes with the Night of Desires, an event designed especially for love.
The experience will take place in the Historic Center of Xochimilco, starting from the Embarcadero Salitre, one of the most traditional piers in the area.
From there, a trajinera boat tour begins, offering a different and much more intimate way to experience Valentine’s Day in Xochimilco.
Floating lamps and music on a special night
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. and combines several elements that make Valentine’s Day in Xochimilco an extraordinary experience.
The ticket includes a nighttime trajinera ride, a floating lamp to participate in the ritual of wishes—where couples write down their wishes and let them float away on the water—and a live bohemian concert that accompanies the entire journey.
To complete the experience, a light dinner of cold cuts is offered, ideal for sharing while sailing through the illuminated canals. The atmosphere is calm, romantic, and designed to be enjoyed without haste, far from the usual hustle and bustle.
The cost to experience La Noche de los Anhelos is $500 pesos per person, and tickets can be purchased online. It’s an ideal option if you’re looking to surprise your partner and celebrate love in one of the most iconic settings in Mexico City.
