Valeria picked the perfect trajinera — quiet end of the canal, big enough for our group, with a stop for tacos floated up by another boat. We extended by an hour because nobody wanted to leave.
Xochimilco gets a bad rap online for being touristy. Valeria proved that wrong. Coyoacán afterwards was the cherry — tamales at the market exactly as she promised.
Mi mamá vino de visita y Valeria armó la tarde perfecta. Mariachi, micheladas y un tour por Coyoacán con calma. La recomendaría sin dudar.

Best on weekends for energy, weekdays for calm. Trajineras are open to weather — heavy rain can shorten the route. We watch the forecast and reschedule when we have to.
