Description

Upon arrival at the Embarcadero Las Flores Nativitas you will wait under the purple arch (with the legend 'El sabor de ser mexicano'), entrance to the parking lot where you will be greeted by your guide who will take you to the 'trajinera', a traditional regional boat, previously decorated for you. Upon boarding the boat you will be greeted with a small souvenir that you can take back with you, receive a drink of your choice (take advantage of the unlimited drinks!) and taste typical sweets, made by artisans of the region. You will taste the most popular national drink while listening to its elaboration process, tequila. You will hear the history of the Canals, as well as its importance today while observing the greenhouses with local flowers depending on the season. You will participate in our fun activities to immerse yourself in our culture, and by the end you will master our lingo like an expert. You will take a short break to eat included food, and you will be able to use the restroom. You will drink the sacred drink of the Mexica gods and learn about their mystical history.
