Xochimilco, located on the southern outskirts of Mexico City, is home to its famous canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the best ways to experience them is on a sunrise kayak tour. I highly recommend the 5:00 a.m. departure over the sunset option. Paddling through the peaceful canals at dawn is truly unforgettable. I recommend booking with Xochimilco Trips, as many operators significantly overcharge tourists. My tour cost around $12 USD, or about $25 USD with a traditional Mexican breakfast served on a chinampa, the pre-Hispanic artificial agricultural islands unique to Xochimilco. It's one of the best experiences in the city, especially if you're traveling with your partner, friends, or family.
