Zacapa Pier is a notable point in the Xochimilco canals, known for its history and unique atmosphere. Located near the main avenue and along the Nativitas embankment, Zacapa, though appearing to be the most old-fashioned of the piers, offers a distinctive experience.
Since 1958, Zacapa has been a popular spot for exploring the Xochimilco canals. Unlike its neighbors, such as Nuevo Nativitas Pier and Las Flores Pier, Zacapa stands out for its view of the Manantiales restaurant. This building, a masterpiece by Félix Candela, adds a surreal touch to the landscape with its unique late-1950s design.
The area around Zacapa Pier retains common amenities such as the handicraft market and plant and flower vendors, offering a rich cultural experience. Visitors can enjoy a trajinera ride while admiring the surroundings and the distinctive architecture of the nearby restaurant.
Regarding trajinera rates, Zacapa follows fixed hourly prices, with little room for bargaining, simplifying the process for visitors. Additionally, English is fairly well spoken in this area, making communication easier. We accept payment in US dollars.
At Trajineras Xochimilco MexiTrajas, we promote diversity, respect, and environmental care so that everyone can enjoy their experience without limits. We offer different trajinera tour options, tailored to various preferences, so you can find the perfect choice and enjoy a memorable experience.
