Touristic experiences go beyond mere sightseeing; they are opportunities to immerse oneself in the authenticity of a destination, connect with its culture, and create lasting memories. For instance, consider the following:
Xochimilco, rooted in ancient history dating back to pre-Hispanic times, offers a captivating experience for tourists. Initially established during the Mesoamerican Preclassic Period (2300 - 0 BC. it grew into a significant city under Mexica rule during the Postclassic period (900 - 1521 AD).
Despite changes over time, Xochimilco's 14 original villages maintain their traditional culture and indigenous heritage. One of its main attractions is the chinampas, or Floating Gardens, showcasing an ancient Mesoamerican agricultural technique. Tourists can explore these gardens aboard trajineras, traditional boats, drifting along tranquil canals surrounded by vibrant flora and echoes of ancient traditions.
When the lakes of the Anahuac Valley dried up due to the Spanish conquerors for 300 years, only Xochimilco and Tláhuac in the current territory of Mexico City retained this unique farming practice.
