点评:The tourist trap of Xochimilco didn't appeal to us. So we arranged a private guide who arranged Kayaks for us. We had the option of a sun rise or later in the morning. We opted for later in the morning to avoid the crowds.
Our guide met us in town and guided us through a maze of alleys, to a skiff (a flat boat that they use a long pole to move and maneuver in the narrow canals). The area is not clean and lots of garbage in the water.
We visited a local restaurant for coffee and also a few places that grew vegetables.
Eventually, we got to the Kayaks and paddled through the canals, with some information from our guide to the main part of the canal, past the island of the dolls.
The drive from Mexico City to Xochimilco is long and slow. About 1.5 hrs each way.
It was neat to see it the canals, which was what Mexico City was originally and learn some of the history.
From what I have seen, don't do the tourist tours. Find a local guide and do you own excursion. I recommend the Kayaks.
翻译:霍奇米尔科的旅游陷阱对我们没有吸引力。所以我们安排了一位私人导游为我们安排皮划艇。我们可以选择日出时分或早上晚些时候出发。我们选择了早上晚些时候出发以避开人群。
我们的导游在镇上与我们会面,带我们穿过迷宫般的小巷,来到一艘小艇(一种平底船,他们使用长杆在狭窄的运河中移动和操纵)。该地区不干净,水中有很多垃圾。
我们去了一家当地餐馆喝咖啡,还去了几家种植蔬菜的地方。
最后,我们来到皮划艇处,划过运河,导游向我们介绍了一些信息,我们到达了运河的主要部分,经过了娃娃岛。
从墨西哥城到霍奇米尔科的车程很长,很慢。单程大约 1.5 小时。
看到运河真是太好了,这就是墨西哥城最初的样子,了解了一些历史。
就我所见,不要参加旅游团。找一位当地导游,自己进行短途旅行。我推荐皮划艇。
