Xochimilco is one of the most interesting cultural areas to visit when you’re in Mexico City. It was formerly a series of pre-Hispanic villages along Lake Xochimilco. Eventually Mexico City expanded and grew all the way to Xochimilco, and now it’s one of the boroughs of the city.
What’s most remarkable about Xochimilco, and the reason most people go to visit is because of the extensive network of canals that form the framework of the area. Nowadays, you can rent the brightly colored boats and take a ride, eating and drinking along the way. I was there on a weekend evening, and it was a bit more rowdy and loud than I had wanted it to be, but it was still very fun. If you go during the daytime, you might have a more peaceful relaxing journey at Xochimilco.
Here’s what Lalo (https://www.youtube.com/user/vpedoardo) and I did on our short visit:
Mercado de Xochimilco – This is the main market of Xochimilco, and one of the best places to get started eating traditional Mexican food when you visit Xochimilco. At the entrance of the market you’ll find rows of vendors selling home-cooked foods. Don’t miss them, they are incredible delicious. Along with rare types of tlayudas, the highlight for me was the chicken tostada which blew me away.
Here’s the list of everything we ate, but really you can just walk around, see what looks good, and try it:
Tlacoyo – 12 MXN ($0.65) each
Tostada – 15 MXN ($0.81) each
Taco – 5 MXN ($0.27) each
Jamaica – 10 MXN ($0.54)
Carnitas – 20 MXN ($1.08) each
After eating, we walked over to the boat pier. And unfortunately we were running a little late on time and it was a race against time and daylight, but we made it to the pier. Lalo talked to the boat crews, and we finally arranged a boat. The cost was a little higher than what it would normally be for locals, but unfortunately, that’s what it came down to.
Boat hire – 850 MXN ($45.91)
Hope you enjoyed this tour of Xochimilco. The colorful boats are impressive to see, and it’s hard to believe you’re in Mexico City when you’re both at the relaxed Xochimilco Market, and gliding along the canals.

Y pensar que podría visitar cada estado de la república y encontrar comida totalmente diferente en cada uno…

One of the things I admire about Mark is, he never wastes food. It doesn't matter if it looks like ( you have to be observant) he really doesn't like it. He eats it all.

Your son is always in good spirits. He enjoys traveling!!!
I hope this isn't taken wrong, I mean I'm Mexican myself, but the ferries seemed too p
acked and chaotic especially with loud music on everywhere simultaneously. Maybe if the ferries were a bit more spaced out.
Nonetheless, I love Marc Wein's videos !!
Micah for sure will travel too when he's older, such a cutie !!
Check this out Angelica Campa, I think this is where you're from ?
