TRAVEL

The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco are located in the San Cristóbal area , in close proximity to the Museo Dolores Olmedo . A fun and colourful way to spend an afternoon , floating down canals that where originally constructed by the Aztecs , on small barges known as trajineras . These boats are made to provide occupancy for large groups so make sure to bring a few friends … or more . A long table runs down the middle of the craft , with chairs of both sides .
Bring your own food and drink or purchase from the many vendors that pass by on the water . The shores are lined with colourful floral nurseries and an array of pottery shops . There are even floating mariachi bands that will board your boat and serenade your group for a handful of pesos .
