Discover a Different Xochimilco
Explore ancient canals, enjoy traditional local food, and reconnect with nature on a living chinampa.
In Mesoamerican cosmology, the hummingbird was a messenger, a guardian, and a symbol of vitality.
La Chinampa del Colibrí was created as a way to reconnect people with the living heritage of Xochimilco through meaningful experiences, nature, and community.
We believe in a more human-centered approach to tourism, where sharing, planting, and exploring the canals can also help preserve one of Mexico City's last great wetlands.
A Sanctuary in the Heart of the City
Xochimilco is more than a tourist destination.
It is one of Mexico City's last great wetlands, home to the axolotl and to an agricultural tradition that has endured for centuries.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this unique landscape continues to withstand urban expansion and the passage of time.
