HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Mexico is full of fun. From beaches to cities, if it’s a good time you’re looking for, a good time can most certainly be had in Mexico! While most people flock to the country’s incredible beaches, one of the best parties is actually located inside one of the biggest cities in the world: Mexico City. If you’ve never heard of Xochimilco before, well, let us introduce you to Mexico’s 365 day a year party! Mariachi, delicious food, and more can be had while floating along Mexico’s ancient waterways (which btw, are a UNESCO world heritage sight!). Be sure to let us know in the comments if this is something you’d do when visiting Mexico City! :)

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

México City is a box full of cool surprises. Keep digging into the Mexican culture. Love your videos and how you guys are having fun in my country that now it's yours as well.
I spent 2 summers in 2004 and 2005 studying Spanish in Cuernavaca as a master student at SMU in Dallas. I got to do the party boat twice. It was. Loads of fun. Check out the Mexican Cathedral across from the Presidential palace. The cathedral is the first one built in Mexico and the pipe organ is still going strong. There is also the cathedral of Guadalupe. Don’t miss the pyramids.
WOW!!! Looks like a blast to do, so yes we would so do this. Some "touristy things" are worth doing just because. Whats next?? Huh? Huh?? Glad you're having a wonderful time, and I am anxiously waiting for the next vlog. Until next time... Travel Safe.
We definitely recommend it, it was such a blast! I guess you will just have to keep watching to see what is next!
Love this video! I have been there sometime back in the 1970s and had forgotten all about it. As soon as the video started I recognized it and remembered the great time we had. Thanks so much for reminding me. 😍🥰
Thanks so much for watching! Glad we could help you relive the experience. Hope you get to make it back one day soon. ☺️
Wow how was it in the 70s compared to this vid? I've always wanted to go but when I tell my cousins they say "nahhh it's not all that, it's like it used to be back in the days" but man I don't care I still want to go.
Un abrazo y es un gusto que conozcan mi país 🇲🇽
Disfruten al máximo la comida que es patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO al igual que la música mariachi 🥰🎇
Gracias por mostrar la buena cara que tiene México
Thanks for show to the world the good side of México I am subscribed

Thanks so much for watching!
This looks like such a great time!!!
It really was!! Highly recommend doing it while you’re in Mexico!
Without seeing your video of this, I never would have tried a trip like this... definitely will have to check this out next time we're near Mexico City.
Yes please do! We highly recommend it!
Mexico and its Capital City are wonderful and fantastic!. History, Art, Culture and Gastronomy.
The country has the largest number of World Heritage sites and intangible heritage in the Americas recognized by UNESCO!!
Stayed in Mexico City for 4 weeks back in 2019. Xochimilco was, by far, one of my favorite spots to check out. It was such a blast! Glad you all enjoyed your visit as well.
So glad you got to experience it!!
You said it. Mexico is organize chaos. And we love it. I wish you good times and fun in our country.
Thank you, we've loved it so far!
Yes I was just thinking this must have been what ancient Mexico City was like, but more of it, and then you commented on it.
You've got an instant subscriptor! Love your videos. Thanks for your kind comments about our beautiful country. Welcome to México!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!! ❤️ and a huge thank you to you and everyone else who has made us feel so welcome here in Mexico. Your country is incredibly special and beautiful!
Amazing video.......the editing is so so professional, great job. I just put Xochimilco on our bucket list.👍🏻🙏🏼🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it! Yes, definitely add it to your list!
Welcone to mexico we.love you here🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🥳🥳🥳💞💞
Oh thank you so much, we loved being there!
The way they decorate these boats with flowers and their vibrant colors. Yeah doll Island not on our list either. The food in Mexico is incredible. The flower bud /fruit of the napal cactus atuna is very good to eat in season. Also very healthy to slice up cook and eat the leaves. Minus the spines of course. 💯😁👍🤙🌞🚣♂️
Ohh that sounds amazing!
This is the type of videos we need in moments when the world is going dow, thank you showing Mexico City, this was Awsome !! Your guys have one new subscriber ! 🇲🇽
So glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for subscribing!
Second video and I’m Subscribed, this video brought me back memories of last visit with Family to the Beautiful Capital of All Mexicans, Xochimilco was a Blast for Us as well! Thanks for All your Awesome videos ! Best wishes from a Mexican in LA !
Thank you so much for subscribing! We are so glad this video brought back fond memories!
We did this on our trip down. It was wonderful.
So glad you got to experience Xochimilco, too! Definitely a fun experience!
There's a tv show in Australia called Travel Guides and they did this and it looked like so much fun
8:46 That phrase perfectly encapsulates Mexico. Organized chaos. I love my country. You guys should swing by other cities if you have the chance.
we would love to visit more cities if we get the chance!
not only did you pay homage to my city, but kept me entertained all the way through. absolute respect! felicidades y vuelvan pronto ;)
Wow that's so kind, thank you so much for watching! We loved your city!
Me encantan sus videos.. Recuerden que son 32 estados y todos son diferentes.... Saludos..... Gracias x venir a México....
Thanks for watching!
Ayer vi su primer video en Mexico y hoy llegando vi este, me gusta su entusiasmo!! Espero les guste la Ciudad de México y puedan viajar a otras ciudades!! Welcome To Mexico 🤗
Thank you!
The best videos ever. I am glad I found you. You make me laugh. and almost cry. in a short period of time.
Thanks so much for watching, we're so glad you enjoy our videos!
Wow! That is so cool!!!
SO much fun!! Highly recommend it!
Thank you for sharing this special place with us and the world!!
Omg YES! Xochimilco is seriously a great party! Ours took a serious turn when we arrived at the spooky island of dolls 🙃 looks like you’re having a amazing time in Mexico. We live in Puerto Escondido, let us know if you make it down this way 🙌
It was such a fun experience, we're loving Mexico City so much!
@@chrisandsara so glad to hear it! Hope you also make it to a Lucha Libre wrestling match!
5:36 That’s exactly how to eat an Elote! Very good! 👏🏼👏🏼
Haha that's good to hear, it was so good!!
You had it spot on on your descriptions. And indeed it's not a tourist trap, people from Mexico City go there all the time. As already said the day is usually more family friendly, while at night more young people go to party and drink. The idea in general is that you get food and drinks elsewhere and then carry it in bags to your boat/trajinera, then you spend 2 to 4 hours eating, drinking, chatting, and sometimes even dancing in there. It's great with groups of 10+ people, also very cheap the price is of course split among everyone (but two people is totally fine too). By the way there is a "tourist" version in Cancún, it's all more organized and targeted towards foreigneirs, but Xochimilco in Mexico City is the real experience.
We are so glad we experienced it!
You Guys almost made me Cry, got emotional with this Video. Thanks Guys.
Aw thank you for watching!
Me gusta la transición que llevan en sus videos, son muy claros con lo que expresan y se ve que son muy amigables :).
Thank you!
You're such a nice 'güero' couple! Thank you for this authentic and genuine video. I hope you can visit each state of my beautiful but also strange country called Mexico, which means the tummy of moon 🌙
Thank you so much! We hope to visit more of Mexico someday!
What a great place to either party or relaxing 😎. Please don't take to long for the next video from Mexico city to be out.
Yes yes yes! What fun!!!! Happy they allowed Kramer to join along! The driver at the end I thought for sure was going to take a bath! 🤣
Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
Thanks, y’all! Kramer definitely wasn’t the only dog there. People LOVE their dogs here which made the ride even more fun. ☺️

Great video!! Well done!!
The short epilogue was the best bit....
Thank you!
Guys you r greatest.in the way of explain yours comments..I liked so much both of you and it's my first day watching you thanks again!!!
Thanks so much for watching!
I go there when I visit my cousin in Mexico City. They have several boats with food other than corn.
I am gringo living in Jalisco 8 years now, and I think this was one of the very best travel suggestions for an authentic Mexican experience I have seen. I would imagine that this is a treat enjoyed primarily by Mexican nationals, more so than visitors. Thanks for this post, and have fun traveling my adopted country.
That's so kind, thank you! It was truly an awesome experience!
This whole thing looks like a ton of fun! Boats, music, food… checks all the boxes!
It reminded me of something I wanted to mention before - narrow boating in England - think of your conversion van, but in boat form. I think y’all need to do it! And if you need a captain let me know!
I’ve never heard of narrow boating!! Would love to try that though! 😄
In Mexico we are more good people than bad, thank you for visiting my beautiful country, there are a lot of places, food and things to do. Really good channel, already suscribed.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, David! And we totally agree! Mexico is so beautiful and incredible. We absolutely loved experiencing and can’t wait to visit other parts of your country one day!
The "taquito" with the lyrics is great!
Haha thank you!
Thanks for sharing I appreciate you doing this for us that can’t go. Be safe out there cool couple. Hi from Wyoming USA
Thanks so much for watching and traveling with us via RUclips. Hi all the way in Wyoming!! :)
Nicely done. I was there in March and loved it. I can't wait to go back.
Glad you enjoyed it! We want to do it again!
I love the Historic explanations included in your videos, they are fun and educational.
Thank you!
Your dog is so beautiful, adorable and precious.
Thank you, we agree!
Amigos! Se hubieran unido algún grupo…será para la próxima; saludos cordiales desde San Luis Potosí.
Something very important that you said it's Xochimilco is for both: Locals and tourists, some foreingers think is a "tourist tramp" but is not, is a very aunthentic place for us, the locals to go and celebrate a birthday, mother's day, a gratuation, etc.
That's so cool to hear, so glad everyone can enjoy it!
I ride them with my GF for the first time and we love it and its fun. after I been to MXCD more then 20 times lol, that was out first time.. lol can't wait to go back.. :)
Excelente video!!! Excelente trajineras!!! Excelente Xochimilco!!! Saludos!!!
Thank you so much much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!! 😄
Just found your channel! New favorite!!! Excellent content, editing and love your humor ❤
Xochimilco is a unique and picturesque neighborhood in the southern part of Mexico City, celebrated for its vibrant canal system and floating gardens. These canals, remnants of the ancient Aztec agricultural system, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Visitors can take colorful, flower-adorned trajineras (flat-bottomed boats) to meander through the canals, enjoying the lively atmosphere with mariachi bands, food vendors, and a festive ambiance. Xochimilco offers a glimpse into the city's pre-Hispanic past, and its ecological and cultural significance make it a charming and historic gem in Mexico's capital. Thanks, Chris and Sara!
❤
I would totally do this! Thanks for sharing. Looks like fun!
We definitely recommend it!
The garden place or little Islands that they grow up their vegetables, and some fruits is called "Chinampa"
You’re making me a bit home sick (family lives in Aguascalientes & it’s been is ages since I have visited), would tell you to go and visit but I can’t think of anything other than the fair (which I don’t know when it goes on lol) to go see. Love your videos. Please try Pozole, albondiga soup, enmolada, and (if you’re up to it) Lengua taco’s (beef tongue) lol. Ohh and the Chonchas. Enjoy.
Thanks so much for watching, sorry to make you homesick but hoped you enjoyed watching! We will have to add those to our list of things to try!
@@chrisandsara I enjoyed it very much. Don’t be sorry, all it did is make it the 1st place I’ll go visit when I’m able too.
I was There Last month, I was fun and an incredible experience!!, we were drinking the delicious Pulque during the trip and eating some elotes while we listened to the Mariachis🥰😍🇲🇽
I ADORE MY COUNTRY ;)
Yes we agree, such an awesome experience!
Me acabo de suscribir a tu canal y tu video Está bien lindo y disfruta México lindo y querido
Wow I love your enjoying Mexico City!
We are for sure!! Such a fun and diverse city!
Glad to see how you enjoy this beautiful place in my city. Five years I studied in one of the towns around xochimilco's area. It's a wonderful, mysterious and magic place, still holds our history and culture aside the lake. Doll Island has it's own creepy history about a crazy man who lives (or lived? I'm not sure about if he already died) there and he used to saw ghost, spirits and paranormal things so he started to wrapping these old dolls for keeping the weird stuff outside his home, faraway from him. After that the place became a pretty scary popular place for locals and of course tourism in the lake took advantage of that due many people wanting to see it.
Thank you for showing us the best of my home.
That's interesting to hear the backstory! So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching!
Q bonito q estén en nuestros pais México espero q su estancia sea agradable ,seganaron un suscriptor más
We loved our time in Mexico City! Thank you so much for subscribing!
Se llama chalupa Sr😒 Víva México 💚🕊️❤️🌟 gringos
Xochimilco is one of my favorite places
If you are looking for an amazing experience fly over the ruins of Teotihuacan inside a hot air balloon. Unforgettable! Nearby you could ask your guides to take you to eat braced lamb (barbacoa de borrego) and cooked in an underground pit. Delish!
Teotihuacan is almost 1.5 hours or less from Mexico City and is worth every penny - if you are interested in archeology.
I personally never been to Xochimilco, but it looks like you guys enjoyed the experience.
Ciao
That's a great recommendation, thank you! We won't be able to make it this time but would love to check it out if we get back to this area!
Amazing video.......the editing is so so professional, great job.
Thanks so much for watching, Esdras! So glad you like it! ☺️
Good. 🎆🇲🇽
Xochimilco!!!! I grew up there :)
I had reached out to Todd from your food video and went down to Xochimilco on Monday (the 14) a bit earlier in the day and had the entire place to myself. At first I was the only person out there and then two more boats came, very mellow. It was a nice experience but I kind of wish I could have gotten some of that grilled corn. I also went down and saw Mr. Rami for ice cream and he was so happy you guys featured him and his place. He said he's had a lot of people come by because of you guys and Todd, he was really happy.
So bummed you missed the corn but so glad that we were able to help give you some places to visit while in CDMX! So glad you visited with Mr. Rami and that Todd was able to help you out, they are wonderful people!
The mariachi band helped brightened my mood lol
😂 mariachi always will!
So, we found y'all's channel 2 weeks ago and after watching your Chattanooga videos, we decided to go there last weekend! We are from Nashville and don't get to travel very often, but both of us would so do this! And we would do it the way y'all did! People watching on a private dinghy! Oh, and y'all's channel is in our weekly watch list!
Hey y’all!! So glad you found out channel! It’s so nice to hear from some fellow Tennesseans out here. 😄 we definitely recommend Xochimilco if you ever visit Mexico City, it’s so much fun!!
thank,s a lot, to show how beautiful is mi country and you guys have earn it a new subscriber
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
Chris and sara, i'm mexican from the north, living in in Boston, for many years, never been in CDMX, I'm dying to go before I died, xochimilco is a world herigate site, enjoy!!
We loved our time in CDMX and especially Xochimilco!!
I was born in Mexico City raised in San Diego for 32 years I got the opportunity to take my family and kids. We love Xochimilco I recommend going to LA GRUTA when you visit Teotihuacan
That's so great, we're so glad you were able to take your family! We will have to add that to our list!
Even looking at those Trajineras brings back hangover memories from parties there with friends. LMAO.
Haha! I bet, we heard it gets pretty lively at night!
@@chrisandsara It does, it is a blast. Boats full of groups of friends partying, meeting people on other boats, everyone singing Mariachi songs hanging out. Lol. So fun.
Xochimilco is really common when in high school graduations!! It is really fun and really cheap, the only thing is that when the sun comes down there are a lot of drunk people and people falling from the canoes lol
and also the river is really dirty, making it difficult to species to live.
No son canoas son TRAJINERAS
@@josehnis No es río son canales y no está sucio así se ve el agua por qué el fondo es obscuro infórmate no hables por hablar.
@@mimifajardo6235 How deep are the canals?
@@JPMJPM los canales están profundos como tres no cuatro metros y crecen algas en el fondo
Glad to hear you enjoyed the organised chaos in there. As a native Mexico City girl I have had my good share of parties there but if you are not in the mood for that kind of experience, there is a more peaceful quiet experience you can get also in Xochimilco. So there are different piers in Xochimilco, and the quiet one is called Cuemanco. No boat traffic jams, just the channels, the farms islands, wildlife… there is a conservation center for an endemic amphibian called ajolote (only specie known in the world able to regrow their severed limbs/bodies). So if nature & wildlife is your thing, you can opt for Cuemanco pier (embarcadero) instead. On the downside, no food boats (or fewer ones) but you can buy food and drinks on the pier before getting to the boat.
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for watching! 😄 we would love to experience the other, quieter side of Xochimilco next time. We love the party, but it would be so fun to learn more about the history and agriculture. Thank you so much for the info on how to get there. Really appreciate it!!
From my point of view, Cuemanco is better. It is observed more what was Mexico centuries ago. Wider canals, agriculture and the view of the volcanoes.
I was there 5 years ago with friends and had a blast! Food, music, drinks and a lot of fun!
The video was recommended to me by RUclips and I loved the channel, welcome to Mexico 🤝
So glad you liked the video, thank you!
Lovely heaven, Cielito Lindo, we say this words to our girlfriends or wives. They look like a lovely sky for us!!
Love that!! ❤️
Great video! I will have to see this when we go to Mexico city
Yes, we definitely recommend it!
Me gusto el video que hicieron hubiera estado bien les explicaran lo de las muñecas que vieron colgadas en un árbol. Hay una leyenda acerca de eso. Que bien que visitaron México hay mucho que ver. No se olviden de la.comida.local como las quesadillas, tostadas, pozole, mole rojo y verde así como la gran variedad de tacos.
Last time we went to Xochimilco (my 4th time) they actually took us to a different route which was much, much less crowded and more natural. We bought plants, enjoyed the weather, no crashing boats all around. It was a very different experience than the usuall boat-packed party canal.
You have to visit “Brujas” in Colonia Roma, its one of the best places to drink a coctel or mixology with mexican elements. Very nice Bar
3:36 I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂 it reminded me of that old video called "Titanic en Xochimilco"
Oh wow we will have to check that video out!
Me gustan sus videos, son una pareja muy agradable, ya cuentan con un nuevo subscriptor!!!!
Thanks so much for subscribing, we are thankful!
Discovered you for your mexico videos. love your style and story telling. very down to earth vibe. Enjoying your best life. New subscriber
So glad you found us, thank you for subscribing!
Les hizo falta unos drinks to be more fun!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
The coolest thing about that place is a reminder that México city was a lake and you could get from Xochimilco to zócalo (downtown) by boat
