We follow canals through the 800-900 year old chinampa system of agriculture, the last remnant of the original lake from prehispanic times. These lush water trails form a green maze of wildlife, mountain views, and still-functioning island farms unlike anywhere in the world. It is a calm paddle with plenty of time for pictures, birdwatching, and exploration.

Grant was very knowledgeable, native English speaker, super helpful with advice and adjustment of our schedule. Many bird sightings, many up close, night heron only 3 meters away!

This was one of the highlights of our 2 week holiday in Mexico. Grant kept us updated at all stages and we set off on time, in a double kayak, for a beautiful paddle through the waterways of Xochimilco. Grant knew the area well and gave a continual commentary on the history of Mexico, the flora and fauna we saw and what the local farmers were doing as we paddled serenely past. We went past the colourful trajineras and down narrow waterways and explored backwaters so quiet it was hard to believe you were in Mexico City. We stopped on a tiny island for lunch – mezal and some esquites from a passing punt! Then a lazy paddle back to the launch jetty for what was an incredibly memorable day and a treat I would definitely recommend.
