This is not the typical Xochimilco party boat. It is a private, peaceful journey into one of Mexico City’s hidden natural reserves. While most visitors experience the lively canals, this sound healing experience takes you into the quieter ecological zone, where nature, water, and live sound instruments come together in a deeply immersive way. The combination of a traditional trajinera, a protected natural landscape, and a guided sound bath creates something truly unique in the city. You’ll experience Xochimilco in a completely different way — slow, mindful, and intentional. With round-trip transportation included from Roma Norte, a private two-hour trajinera ride, live sound healing, and light snacks, everything is thoughtfully arranged so you can simply relax and be present. If you’re looking for an experience that blends culture, nature, and wellness in an intimate setting, this is a rare opportunity to connect with Mexico City beyond the usual tourist path.

Come, meet our chickens, and get your hands a little dirty as you forage for delicious, nutrient-packed veggies, seasonal fruits, or even seeds and flowers.

Throughout my life, nature has been my refuge and guide. Upon becoming certified as a forest therapist, I realized something fascinating: something that is very natural to me, which I have practiced and done since I was a child—immersing myself and simply being in the forest—had a name: Forest Bathing. The practice of Forest Bathing reduces stress and boosts the immune system. It also awakens creativity and strengthens our bond with Mother Earth. I will be your guide, but Mother Nature will be our teacher.
