Highlights
Our day-long tour starts on the water, as we ride our own trajinera– a festively-decorated flat-bottom boat used by locals to traverse the canals – through part of the ecological reserve that is particularly rich in flora and fauna. As the boat glides through the canals that connect the chinampas, we’ll have an onboard family-style meal made using local ingredients and learn about the thousand-years-old local agricultural method that’s still used to feed nearby Mexico City today. Along the way, we’ll stop at a working chinampa to meet a local farmer and find out more about the distinctive local way of life and work.
