Xochimilco Canals from Cuemanco
Cuemanco, Xochimilco, Mexico
A canal outing from Cuemanco offers a way to understand the watery landscape that once shaped the Valley of Mexico. Travelling by trajinera brings the surviving canals and chinampa agricultural setting into view, beyond the familiar image of brightly painted boats. Choose an ecological or cultural itinerary with a guide who can explain the landscape and its present-day communities. Agree the route, duration and full price before departure, and make the journey south a distinct part of the day’s plan.
