Basic Tour
One-hour tour along the main canal, perfect for a quick and fun outing.
Each Día de Muertos season, the La Llorona show in Xochimilco becomes a living work of art where theater, ritual dance, and polyphonic singing merge in dialogue with the water.
The experience begins the moment you step aboard the trajinera. At Mexitrajas, we guide visitors through the canals at a slow, deliberate pace, allowing the silence and twilight to set the mood for what’s to come. The journey itself becomes a prologue — the murmur of the water, the gentle creak of the wood, the soft glow of lights drifting across the surface.
Upon reaching the main stage, the figure of La Llorona emerges reimagined through a lens that blends Mexica worldview, community identity, and the ecological spirit that sustains Xochimilco’s life. Live music — drums, conch shells, and pre-Hispanic instruments — fills the air, transforming it into a ritual space where emotion is shared and collective.
At Mexitrajas, we believe tradition and nature must exist in balance. Our trajineras operate with low environmental impact, discreet lighting, and full respect for the natural waterways. During the Day of the Dead season, this philosophy becomes even more meaningful: the navigation itself turns into an extension of the performance — an intimate, responsible journey through heritage and reflection.
The invitation is open to all who wish to experience La Llorona by navigating with Mexitrajas — aboard a trajinera that celebrates culture, memory, and the authentic spirit of Xochimilco.
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.
