Flavors in Chinampa Cueyatl Cuicatl

Just a few minutes from the urban area of Xochimilco lies a place where time slows down. Chinampa Cueyatl Cuicatl, located within the Laguna del Toro Ecological Reserve, is a peaceful natural setting that can only be reached by water. Surrounded by nature, it offers a landscape unlike the traditional tourist areas of Xochimilco, distinguished by the impressive ahuehuete trees that line the shores of Laguna del Toro.

Your experience begins the moment you board a private trajinera or canoe and navigate through tranquil canals toward the chinampa. Along the way, you’ll discover a unique ecosystem filled with native vegetation, birdlife, and scenic landscapes that make this one of the best-preserved natural areas in Xochimilco.

Upon arrival at Chinampa Cueyatl Cuicatl, you’ll enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner in a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by gardens, fruit trees, and a scenic viewpoint overlooking Laguna del Toro. Rather than simply visiting a restaurant, you’ll experience a journey where navigation, nature, and traditional Mexican cuisine come together in a single unforgettable experience.

The experience is available during three different schedules:
