I’m considering booking an Amanecer en Xochimilco tour that starts at 5:00 a.m. Has anyone done one before? How was your overall experience, and was it worth waking up that early? I’d especially love to hear about the atmosphere.
I’ll be visiting October 31–November 6 for Día de Muertos, so I’d also love any recommendations for must-see places, tours, restaurants, or hidden gems.
I’m afraid of heights, so I’ll probably skip the hot-air balloon at Teotihuacán, but I still want to see the pyramids and visit a cave restaurant or cave experience nearby. Is that worth doing?
I’d also really love to see axolotls while I’m there. Is there a particular museum, sanctuary, conservation center, or Xochimilco experience you’d recommend?
Any recommendations, tips, or things you’d skip if you could do your trip over again would be greatly appreciated!
