# Mexico City: Xochimilco at sunrise + Breakfast and transportation

**Guidekin's take:** Explore Xochimilco at sunrise aboard a traditional cayuco, a canoe used for this outing through the channels. Breakfast, the canoe and air-conditioned transport are included; the activity is not recommended during pregnancy or for travelers with spinal injuries. 5 from 124 reviews at €144 per person for 5h.

In our comparison: #4 of 26 in Xochimilco Boat Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Discover a totally different face of Xochimilco, away from the tourist bustle and focused on natural beauty, the tranquility of the sunrise and respect for the environment. This is not the traditional Xochimilco of the trajineras; it is an intimate, ecological and sensory experience that connects you with the ancestral essence of these millennial channels

On this exclusive tour you will sail in traditional cayucos, kayak-like vessels, but larger and more comfortable, guided by expert rowers. You just relax and enjoy: you don’t have to paddle. We travel through narrow, little-traveled canals, inaccessible to common trajineras, where nature is at its purest.

You will see the sunrise reflecting off the water, surrounded by birds, akhotes, and stunning flora. This is a silent, intimate and perfect experience for those who seek something authentic, photogenic and deeply connected to the lake ecosystem.
