Sochimilco is a unique attraction in Mexico City, being a complex of Aztec canals. You can ride on boats, taste delicious food (in the center of the boats are set comfortable tables), without fuss to view the urban surroundings. For relaxation, choose noisy "music" piers or more secluded stopping places such as Embarcadero Cuemanco.
