Colima 71
Explore hand in hand with Colima 71.
Surrounded by a breathtaking, historical landscape and deemed a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, Xochimilco Mexico has been home to colorful traditions and timeless preservation alike since pre-Hispanic times. With its flashy boats, lively music, and a unique atmosphere that blends nature and history seamlessly, it is a must-visit for travelers looking for a place to fall in love with.
At Colima 71, we want you to dive deep into one of the most authentic and alluring experiences with a guided Mexico City tour aboard your very own trajinera, sailing beyond the barriers of time. Through our Signature Experiences filled with magic, we extend an invitation for all visitors to discover the many secrets and wonders of the city we call home.
Beyond its touristic appeal, Xochimilco Mexico is a passageway to the past, allowing us to travel back to the Mexica days: to a pre-Hispanic world where connection with nature and the environment were the way of life. Through a complex system of canals and chinampas we see a legacy of ancient engineering, with artificial islands that served as the agricultural heart of the great Tenochtitlán.
Nowadays, the trajineras Xochimilco stores all around allow us to navigate the watery roads and connect with centuries of history and culture, fully delving into a nurturing experience – both for the body and for the soul.
Located just an hour from Colima 71, our hotel in Roma Mexico City, Xochimilco is easily accessible, especially for those who, through our Signature Experiences, decide to treat themselves to a carefully designed Mexico City tour, captivating and inspiring on all ends.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable journey at one of the best places to travel in Mexico – hand in hand with Colima 71, revel in the magic of Xochimilco with round-trip transportation and an expert guide eager to share the secrets of this timeless gem.
The adventure begins as you board one of the emblematic trajineras, decorated with brightly colored flowers and paintings that refer to those of yesteryear. As you float and sail, you will be greeted with a tall glass of mezcal that you can pair with exquisite Mexican antojitos. The drinks and the festive atmosphere, accompanied by melodic marimba music, create an unforgettable setting that mixes the essence of traditional flair with contemporary luxury.
Additional to enjoying art and gastronomy, you will have the opportunity to see the chinampas – floating plots still used to this day for growing flowers and vegetables, just as the Aztecs did hundreds of years ago.
Undoubtedly so, Xochimilco is a reflection of the life and traditions of deep Mexico. While on the tour, not only is local folklore abundant, but you will also be able to enjoy a special connection with the flora and fauna all around: the green landscapes, the sound of water, and the charm of the trajineras are the secret way to a different world, far from the city, and full of mysteries to uncover.
As an iconic hotel in Roma Mexico City, nestled in the beating heart of the city, we’d like to extend an invitation to explore beyond Xochimilco. From guided tours of Teotihuacán to heightened gastronomic journey, we offer a wide range of Signature Experiences and curated Mexico City tours so you can explore the secrets that lie within and fall in love with the best places to travel in Mexico.
Treat yourself to a unique trip with us and delight in an adventure.
