XOCHIMILCO (4K): The Canals of Mexico City! (Mexico City Travel Guide: Day 6)

was there a alcohol limit?

Great video but I am so sorry for your Mexican friend. He always looks so sad. I am happy to watch your videos but your friends is a dark cloud following you around.🤣

Awesome quality video!! Did you do the editing/directing yourself? Looks extremely professional. And Thanks for sharing your personal story! New subscriber here.

Aw, 😅. That restaurant it’s been my little secret. ❤ I look so bad btw, lol.

Good 👌 ❤️ 👍

Okay, you have a good sense of humor and you're Family, so I had to "Like" this video. Mexico City was my first trip to Mexico way back in 1997 or 1998, but I didn't get to Xochimilco so I need to get back there and I want to see that haunted island with the dolls. I'll watch more of your videos since you're not an irritating narcissist like so many other vloggers.

I visited CDMX once, in 2018 but didn't have enough time to make it to Xochimilco (5 days in the city wasn't enough). I'm going again in May (in just two months from now, can't wait!) for a 2nd time and will be staying for 9 days this time. Definitely going to go to Xochimilco when I'm there. Looks amazing!!!

I live in NYC and all of CDMX (not just Xochimilco) is a much more interesting and exciting city than NYC lol

Great vid!

I've been to Mexico City twice in the past year. I never made it to Xochilmilco. I want to visit now after watching your video. Thank you!

Would love to see you do something on Brazil 🙂

I just visited last January and loved my time in Mexico City! You do a great job on these videos! Thanks for sharing your trip. It reminded me of my time there.

Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

I have watched hundreds of Mexico City videos since I adore Mexico City and study pre-European and post-European history, architecture and development. With that said, I felt like the vibe was off in this video for many reasons. Not only did his friend come across as uncomfortable with the camera presence but the humour was a little distasteful in my opinion, even if it was not intended to come across as condescending.

I really hated when he asked his Mexican friend if being on the trajinera didn't make him miss his ancestors or make him want to build a chinampa? It came across as very old-school type of humour, like a white american-passive-aggressive type of humour — even though the American hardly looks white himself — even if that's his friend, I don't think it matters because the video is made for the public and we're the audience. Certain things are not okay.

I thought the "joke" was so poor and rationally speaking, a very odd question to ask; why would a Mexican-mestizo, in 2022 miss someone from the 1400s? And why would that make him want to build a chinampa? The joke itself lacks correlation, logic and competence. Imagine I visit NYC and have a respectful American taking me around, we pass by where the twin towers used to be and I'm like "when seeing this site, doesn't it make you miss these dead Americans? Doesn't it make you want to build the towers again?"

Moreover, for a former teacher, this man clearly didn't check his spelling or Google the words used in the editing of the video, to ensure accuracy in spelling and history. They're not Chinapas! They're Chinampas.

Also, at the beginning, the blue tortilla "quesadilla" is not a quesadilla, it's a machete. His friend is also not eating just a "chicken sandwich", it's a torta, which is a lot more like a panini VS a sandwich. I feel like Mexican gastronomy deserves a lot of respect.

Lovin your videos!

Another fantastic video! Such a beautiful city! 💕

Bro no way I was your student love the channel btw

Another great job at explaining the key points of interests for this trip. Thanks !

Pronounciation guide: Just a regular "S" sound on the "X" of Xochimilco. Think "So glad I went to Sochimilco".

Thank you!!! for all your videos of Mexico City. Love all the history you are sharing with us, can't wait to my trip to Mexico City in November!!!!

Groovy. 😎 A friend of mine is heading to Xochimilco tomorrow. I'lll have to share your informative video with him. When I was there I wanted to see the island of dolls but our boat didn't go there.😞 Wow.those sweet potatoes looked delicious.
