Xochimilco Rafts Excursion
Xochimilco is a small area of Mexico City (45 mins from La Condesa) famous for colourful "trajinera" boats that fill its canals. You can rent your own boat for 1 - 2 hours and bring whatever you'd like - music, drinks, snacks. As you float, you'll run into floating maricahis, ranchero trios, and marimbas who will offer to play you songs. Music isn't all you will find in Xochimilco - there are boats filled with flower crowns, plants and trees for sale, and floating chefs where you can buy elote (corn), tamales, and beer. Xochimilco was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984 and houses one of the most unique animals in Mexico, the Ajolote, a rare amphibian that regenerates not only its appendages but also its internal organs. Tourism in this area helps fund the preservation of these animals.
Pirámides de Teotihuacan Excursion
Teotihuacan is a vast Mexican archaeological complex about an hour northeast of Mexico City. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead. It links the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun, the latter two with panoramic views from their summits. Getting there is easy! Ask any Uber Driver and they'll usually be happy to take you (off of the App) and wait for you for several hours. The cost is usually between $1500 and $2000 pesos ($75 - $100 USD). If you're up early and don't fancy a lot of walking, you can even see the pyramids by air ballon! La Gruta Restaurant - Traditional Mexican food. You literally eat lunch in an enormous volcanic cave with a mystic atmosphere. Any tour guide or driver will try to take you to a different place where they get commission. INSIST ON “LA GRUTA”.
