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

⭐️⭐️ – Crowded, Loud, and Not Worth the Hype 🚫🛶💸 Tried the boat ride experience and honestly… not relaxing or enjoyable. The place was super crowded, and the boat ride felt more like a tourist assembly line than a peaceful trip through a canal. The canal is very shallow, and the route is pretty underwhelming. You basically float past vendors trying to sell you food, drinks, souvenirs—you name it. It’s very clear that the whole setup is designed to get you to spend money, not to offer a relaxing or scenic experience. It wasn’t awful, but it definitely wasn’t the charming getaway I hoped for. If you’re looking for something peaceful, authentic, or beautiful… this probably isn’t it. Wouldn’t recommend, especially if you’re short on time or looking for something truly memorable. Save your pesos and your patience.

Beautiful experience Our friends from Tijuana and Los Angeles enjoyed the tour. We recommend their services. The personal very attentive and polite. I definitely will use their services again and again. I will recommend them with all my friends from USA and Mexico.

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.

It was a boomer. Since isn't possible visit different canals the trip is made only in 1 canal (no morethan 1 km). So it is super crowded and we basically spent the time waiting to move a few meters.

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.

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.

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!
