The Best Healthy Restaurants in Mexico City | Bon Appétit

"An hour Uber to the south of the city will drop you at Xochimilco, the labyrinthine network of waterways and canals that used to encompass the entire Valley of Mexico, during the reign of the Aztec Empire. At one of the dozens of docking points, you can hire a guide for under $20 to push you and 20 of your closest friends for a couple of hours on a trajinera, the colorful, named boats (look out for Beyonce!). There are two main sections: One ropes through residential neighborhoods with a decidedly more party-feel, while the other heads to the agriculture zone, still dedicated to farming. Whichever you choose, stock up on beer, snacks, even a portable speaker before hopping on. The more the merrier." - ByScarlett Lindeman

We got an experience with AirBnB and we had no wait and this was my 1st time going on a weekend and it was super busy. We kept bumping into other boats in the water. Luckily it started raining and it got better. Try and go on a weekday.

It was a fun experience! I booked the “Paquete festejo” you’re allowed to invite 18 people, you can bring your own drinks and food.

A lot of fun, chaos and joy! Dont miss it. Just check how far the transport there is. It is over an hour from the center of Mexico City.

Visiting the trajineras was an incredible experience! It was such a fun and relaxing time cruising along the canals, drinking, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. The colorful boats, lively music, and beautiful scenery made it a truly memorable outing. It’s the perfect activity to do with friends or family, and I loved soaking in the festive vibe while taking in the views. Definitely a must-do when in Mexico City!

This was a pleasant and relaxing trip. There was plenty of excitement on the trip. This is a great side trip from Mexico City and I would recommend a boat ride of 2 to 3 hours. If you want to do a lot of drinking, then you can make it longer. But if you're just cruising for a relaxing trip, 2 hours would be the best. You can also take your own food and beverages. We took the boat ride on the weekday, I'm sure it's more crowded on the weekend and if you can, the weekday would be the best.

The experience was not my favourite. I guess it would depend on whether you are into this kind of thing or not. Definitely would be a little more entertaining with a very large group. We were 5 people, had our own boat. I feel as though if you had a full boat and everyone is drinking and playing music it may have been more entertaining. There is really nothing to see, it is just a very dirty river, with merchant boats asking you to buy things. They sell food, alcohol, and souvenirs. Otherwise really nothing else to it. I wouldn’t recommend this excursion.

I highly recommend using this company and booking online, at least 30 minutes before the ride. This legit company has a very trustworthy staff who are extremely kind and knowledgeable!! Our 2hr boat ride was perfect but seemed to end too quickly! There was so much more to explore and see! We took our drinks and hired a marimba boat with two players. They were amazing!!

I went with my family during Day of the Dead for a special performance; a play based on the mexican legend 'El Nahual' It was an amazing experience. The bad thing was that our trajinera was on the furthest corner, so we couldn't have a good view, but still ✨ We were free to take in our food thankfully 😅
