Short Description
Starting in central Mexico City, before departing by private van for Xochimilco. First stop will be the vast market of the area. We’ll try different dishes such as tlacoyos, banana leaf-wrapped tamales and chileatole, an ancient drink made with corn, herbs and peppers. As we explore the market we’ll learn more about the different kinds of produce that are grown locally on the chinampas.
We’ll track those local products back to their source as we ride our own trajinera to traverse the canals. As the boat glides through the canals that connect the chinampas, we’ll have an onboard tasting of seasonal products. Along the way, we’ll stop at a couple of working chinampas to meet the farmers and find out more about the local way of life and work, which represents a direct link to pre-Colonial times. At one chinampa, we’ll gather our own fresh greens and assemble a salad on the boat as we cruise back.
