Nature and Parks in Mexico City

"This neighborhood still has plenty of the water canals that defined Mexico City way back before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. There are several piers where you can rent a traditional trajinera, a colorful wooden boat that fits as many as 20 people, to explore the area while smaller boats cater to all your food and drink needs. There are even boats with musicians — usually mariachi trios — if you’re in the mood ofora more festive ride. Nuevo Nativitas is the most popular pier to embark from in a trajinera. You can either rent a private boat or join a group in a collective trajinera." - MATADOR_NETWORK
