Tips

The Xochimilco Ecological Park is a park of some 165 hectares and covering much the canals and chinampa system for which Xochimilco is famous. Aquatic humid areas are largely built up with the agricultural chinampas. The park also has a good deal of temperate forest land. Agricultural land is used for the growing of vegetables, ornamental plants, hollows, pines and eucalyptus trees. Wildlife includes birds, insects, rodents, snakes and rabbits. The park also provides an important point for migratory birds.
Most 'trajinera trips' from the boat launch at Xochimilco Ecological Park have an environmental and natural slant to them but the place is extremely busy with the food vendors and musicians who accompany the traditional canal tours. Be careful of overcharging fees in regard for food and drink. It is a great trip however and just enjoy....
