"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
