Great tour that is wonderfully different from all the other Xochimilco tours available. We were interested in seeing the “floating gardens” and canals but weren’t particularly interested in the usual alcohol-food-fiesta experience that most tours offer. We found this tour instead and got exactly what we wanted and more. We were taken by canoe through the canals at sunrise and saw so many beautiful birds along the way while our guide (Marcos, a local farmer in the chinampas) told us about the history and agriculture there. We didn’t have to paddle, the guides did it all for us. Would recommend a jacket (we went in May and it was a little chilly) but they also supply blankets for everyone. After about 45 minutes, we arrived at Marcos’s garden chinampa where we were given tea/coffee/crackers and a tour of their amazing sustainable gardening methods. After that, our other guide (Constanza) set up yoga mats for us in a grassy area and we had a 45-60 minute yoga session that was focused on stretching and mindfulness. Very adaptable for all levels of fitness/experience. At the end of the yoga, we meditated together by laying on our backs while Constanza gave us a lovely “sound bath” by playing crystal singing bowls. Super relaxing and such a unique experience! We then had breakfast that was completely farm-to-table and delicious. Then took canoes back to our van to return to Condesa.
Overall amazing experience!! Very focused on nature, agriculture, and serenity. Highly recommend!

Dear Seniors
We loved this tranquil dawn flat-water paddle at Xochimilco in Mexico City. It's a thousand year old area of ‘floating’ farmfields called chinampas - surrounded by and criss-crossed with canals. There were lots of birds as the sun rose and a glimpse of the mountains and volcano.
The trip was co-hosted by Humedalia AC, which farms by hand to maintain and educate about the old ways. Their plot is about a half hour paddle into the protected world heritage site. Our biologist and cultural guides were very friendly and informative, and we were well taken care of with some yoga and a delicious fresh breakfast.
The CDMX co-host was the lovely Vitali Spa in the Condesa neighborhood.
Highly recommended!

This was such a unique tour. I would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City. Constanza organized our beautiful sunrise tour. She was an incredible host and guide. She was super responsive leading up to the tour and flexible, she tweaked the tour to suit our needs and even organized the most beautiful breakfast for us to have on the boat. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City. It's truly an unforgettable experience!

Wow - what an incredible experience! A gorgeous and misty boat ride (with hot coals on the boat to keep us warm!), riding through the canals to come to a beautiful sunrise, then a morning yoga session, sound healing and a delicious breakfast of fruit and tamales! Plus wonderful hosts who set a warm and welcoming vibe - honestly, I was shocked with such an authentic and insightful experience of historic Mexico City only 20 minutes drive from the center.

Xochimilco was beautiful, and Costanza was a very kind and knowledgeable guide. I would recommend this tour to everyone. I did have to book directly, contacting Vitali through Whatsapp. They had a group tour option, but managed to organise a private tour that didn’t cost much more to suit my schedule. They were very accommodating and I had an amazing experience.

Wow, what an amazing time I had at the dawn yoga and meditation session in Xochimilco. Picture this: as the sun was just starting to rise, we were doing yoga and meditating in this serene setting by the tranquil canals of Xochimilco. It was like a dream come true.
The yoga and meditation session was super chill, led by a fantastic instructor. It helped set a positive tone for the day and connect with the morning's serenity.
To make things even better, we got to try some delicious local food. It added a whole new layer of flavor to the experience.
And we didn't stop there. We also hopped on a trajinera and cruised through the stunning Xochimilco canals. It was just one of the many cool parts of the journey.
Overall, this experience was a fantastic mix of relaxation, culture, and natural beauty. I'd absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to soak up the Xochimilco vibes in a really cool way.
A big shout-out to the amazing team, especially Constanza, who made it all happen. I'm leaving with great memories and a real sense of inner peace.

Great experience from start to finish. We took a boat ride through the canals of Xochimilco, meditated on the water, then went on land to a beautifully set up area where we did yoga while breakfast was being cooked. The hosts were friendly and made the experience special. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxed way to start the day and be in nature.

This was a truly amazing experience! Being on the water at dawn, in the stillness, and seeing the beauty of the canals was so restorative. As was our wonderful yoga session, sound bowls, and meditation time. We finished the morning with a fantastic breakfast and wonderful conversation. Overall it was a super enjoyable and life-giving morning! I’d highly recommend this experience of Xochimilco.
