Imagine gliding through shimmering canals under a starlit sky, surrounded by music, laughter, and the irresistible aroma of authentic Mexican flavors. At Xoximilco, the party never stops! For nearly three unforgettable hours, you’ll sail aboard a colorful trajinera (traditional boat), vibing to live music.
Belt out classics with mariachis, sway to the romantic bolero trio, or tap your feet to the lively jarocho beats.
From crispy chapulines (grasshoppers!) to smoky barbacoa, sweet cocadas (coconut treats), and melt-in-your-mouth tamales, this is a foodie’s paradise.
Each trajinera celebrates one of Mexico’s 32 states—hunt for yours and snap a pic!
Sip ice-cold agua fresca, toast with tequila, or grab a cerveza.
This isn’t just a tour—it’s a VIP pass to Mexico’s soul. Dance with strangers-turned-friends, learn slang from your charro-hatted host, and soak up the joy that makes Mexican culture legendary.
