Message from Ashley Castellanos

Xochimilco in Mexico City is famous for its vibrant canals, known as the Floating Gardens. Visitors can hop on colourful gondolas called trajineras and cruise along the waterways while enjoying music, food, and drinks. The man-made islands, called chinampas, offer a glimpse into the area's rich history of agriculture. Bargaining for boat rides is common, so be prepared to haggle for a good price. With lively markets, mariachi bands, and picturesque scenery, Xochimilco is a must-visit destination for a fun and cultural experience in Mexico City.
