Sunrise Kayaking in Xochimilco

Our tour starts early in the morning (4:30 am), so you can fully experience the beauty of the sunrise in Xochimilco. You will paddle in your own kayaks, surrounded by the serenity and nature of the canals. Along the way, our expert guide will share fascinating stories about the local culture and provide you with information about the flora and fauna around you.

We will arrive at a lagoon where you will appreciate the birth of the sun in a unique way, a BEAUTIFUL sunrise that you have not experienced before.

After the kayak trip, we will head to a beautiful chinampa, where you can enjoy a hot pot coffee and a delicious breakfast prepared with fresh ingredients harvested right here.

Additional information

• Wear lycra clothing that allows for quick drying, NOT denim, as you are likely to splash yourself during the kayak tour. It is recommended that you bring a full change of clothes for your comfort.
• Wrap up well witha good jacket, for winter we recommend wearing gloves (preferably with non-slip) and a hat as the temperature drops a lot during this time. We recommend NOT wearing rain boots, plastic or slippery shoes.
• Wear your sunglasses, they will help you a lot to see directly at the sun when it is dawn.
• It is important that you sleep well the night before, this will make you enjoy the tour much more.
• If you arrive by car, keep in mind that the closed parking lot costs $70. You must arrive at the meeting point and from here we will guide you to the entrance to the parking lot. Bring cash to pay for it. Seating is limited to a maximum of 10 cars and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
• For bookings with transport: The pickup will take place between 3:25 am and 4:15 am, and we will share the real-time location of the van through a WhatsApp group that we will create with the driver for seamless coordination. Right here we will confirm the exact pick-up time. Groups are created a night before around 8 pm.
• If you don't plan to select the option with breakfast, we recommend you bring a small snack that you can eat in the kayak without leaving residue, as you could feel hungry later.

Some considerations:

• Remember that the view of the sunrise is a natural phenomenon that does not depend on us and that according to "Tlaloc" and how many clouds we have in the landscape is that we will be able to see the sunrise as we have seen it in photos and videos.
• For security reasons, access to users who have consumed alcohol or are under the influence of any narcotic is prohibited.
• It is very important that you arrive on time at 4:30 a.m. so as not to miss the sunrise, since the sun will begin to rise at 5:00 a.m.
