Arca Tierra
E-commerce service · Conjunto Infonavit Cuemanco
"One of the most unforgettable views is seeing the sunrise from the Xochimilco canals and its chinampas. Xochimilco, also known as 'Field of Flowers,' is a series of canals that were created during the Mesoamerican period and whose implementation of chinampas is still in use today. Chinampas are artificial islands built on these wetlands for agricultural purposes. This is something that can be experienced with Arca Tierra, a collective that seeks to heal our earth by employing regenerative and traditional agriculture techniques. You can book a sunrise experience with them that includes a breakfast where all the ingredients come from their chinampa." —Karina Primelles

Huerto Roma Verde
Community center · Centro Urbano Benito Juárez
"Inspired by the ecstatic dance structure that began in Hawaii, these [Sundance X Moondance] sessions will leave you sweaty and reinvigorated. Hosted every Sunday at 10:30 AM in huerto roma verde, these are no-talk, no-touch, two- to three-hour-long dance sessions." —KP

Masala y Maíz
Restaurant · Tabacalera
"If you're looking for a moment to nourish your body and soul, go to Masala y Maiz, a restaurant and concept that explores the migration of people, culinary techniques, ingredients, cultural food ways, and political movements between South Asia, East Africa, and Mexico." —Mennlay Golokeh Aggrey

"Located right in the heart of the city, Chapultepec Park is one of the largest parks in Latin America and boasts many hidden treasures. My ideal visit would consist of entering through the entrance by the Estrella de Luz (you'll see why if you go) and walking up to the botanical gardens." —KP

Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo
Art museum · Rincon Del Bosque
"During or after a walk in Bosque de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Park), head to Museo Tamayo. Though Mexico City is known for having the most museums in the world, Tamayo specifically is zen-like in its captivation." —MGA
