Xochimilco - Fiesta Every Day on the Canals of Mexico City!

The town of Xochimilco, Mexico has been around for many centuries. Even before the Spanish arrived to Mexico. It is on a canal system with artificial islands that are navigated by gondola-like boats called trajineras. It is still much like it was hundreds of years ago with the canals and human-powered boats so it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and welcome for tourists. You will see mostly Mexicans enjoying their time here hanging out with friends but some foreigners as well. It's like having a party on a boat with lots of other boat parties going on around you. Only Mexico can do something like this.

[@DaveOnArrival]

Check it out. Best to go with a group

[@courtneye2054]

I laughed when you mentioned the bike taxi has no breaks, nothing like safety is there? Looks like an amazing experience, gotta love the people playing musical instruments are you all float along. That Titanic boat is funny but the shot after...was that girl okay?! ha she was pretty chilled out by the look of it! Great video.

[@DaveOnArrival]

Ha, she was okay, just enjoying the sun.

[@juditharaiza3326]

I am Mexican. This is why I watch your Mexico videos XD. I've gone before. It's really fun! I'm also eleven.

[@DaveOnArrival]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@musicratitamusicforyourvid9692]

[@DaveOnArrival]

I hope you enjoyed

[@jessejimenez5605]

You went to a party country like Mexico and expected silence? We like to party dude. We like our family members and we get together with them and friends and it’s a party.

[@DaveOnArrival]

I learned that, haha

[@sixtocortes1755]

[@jamiejohnson973]

Yes 😂 would do that with a group of people I know. Fun to sample the food and Dr njs. Have music found and fun.

[@JordiPresa]

craziest video on the game

[@DaveOnArrival]

Would you rather experience the boats or the amazing quesadilla?

[@JeffinBville]

La quesadilla, por favor.

[@ERAP1st]

In which resto did u buy that big quesadilla? In the video.it looks like in front of juanitps. Is that from that resto? I want to try it

[@prodogtwodogman3857]

So sad it’s so badly contaminated.

[@lindaa1238]

I’ve never been and have always wanted to go, you did a wonderful job at capturing the culture. You are officially invited to the carne asada. 😂

[@DaveOnArrival]

Aww. thank you 😄

[@daviddrouin7223]

Ohh wow thats pretty cool. Rhum coke and dos equis, the way to go ;) Do they offer night tours too?

[@DaveOnArrival]

Night tours are a thing there, though not as popular

[@damianel2913]

I want to make a reservation how can I do that?

[@didiermartinezzz4204]

Hahaha "she's also my body guard here in Mexico,but she's not very good at that job"

[@DaveOnArrival]

😁

[@didiermartinezzz4204]

I never thought 100% Americans would like mexican food

[@DaveOnArrival]

I love Mexican food, I don't know about others

[@OSHWORLD]

How much did this cost?

[@DaveOnArrival]

About $20 per hour for the whole boat

[@juditharaiza3326]

If you have a picture of the canal "Lupita" post it and I'll sub :D

[@-RedEnoz-]

Drinking on those boats all day, what's the bathroom situation like? I get that a guy might be able to relieve himself off the side of the boat but what about the girls?

[@DaveOnArrival]

Good question. There are stops and shops you can ask the boat driver to stop at to relieve yourself. It costs to use the bathrooms, though

[@-RedEnoz-]

@@DaveOnArrival thank you!

[@juditharaiza3326]

[@Freddy-ox3rt]

Nice

[@noemisandovalcontreras9276]

I'M REAL 😂 NOT A BOT

[@prodogtwodogman3857]

Massively polluted, three wastewater treatment plants discharge contaminated water in massive amounts into the canals.

[@DaveOnArrival]

Didn't know that

[@paulinamz.6032]

Nooooo recomienden ir a Xochimilco, está todo cochino, mejor, asomence a las aguas negras de su localidad y sin gastar - GRATIS 🙌

[@gabamarquez7981]

😂 Muy cierto ! ... A mí me quisieron vender unas pepitorias en casi $ 300 y en mi localidad son de a 10 varos.

[@paulinamz.6032]

[@madtownbbbear]

I'd rate this 3.5 out of a possible 10. Not a quality video. Poor editing.

[@DaveOnArrival]

Thank you for watching and for your honesty. How can I improve?
