Immerse yourself in Mexican culture and folklore as the lively show incorporates colorful costumes, traditional makeup, pre-Hispanic dancing, and authentic pre-Hispanic instruments.

Highlights

Itinerary

In the evening, meet your guide and head to the Xochimilco neighborhood of Mexico City. Upon arrival, we'll embark on a trajinera ride through the canals to reach the event venue. Are you ready to enjoy the show? Let's discover the chilling legend of La Llorona!

Once at the Laguna de Tlílac, the trajinera will transform into your seat for the spectacle. Did you know that the story of this character dates back to the chronicles of Bernal Díaz del Castillo? This Spaniard was part of the conquest of the Mexican empire, and among his accounts is the tale of La Llorona.

The performance revolves around the soul of an indigenous woman who weeps her sorrows along the canals of Xochimilco. This story, passed down through generations, is now considered a Cultural Heritage.

On the stage, also set on a trajinera, ancient Mexican instruments made of bone and clay, such as ocarinas and whistling jars, along with drums and pumpkin rattles, are showcased. These are blended with instruments brought during the Conquest, such as the marimba, harp, and guitar. Music, light, and color converge in a unique spectacle in Xochimilco! Are you going to miss it?

Itinerary

In the evening, meet your guide and head to the Xochimilco neighborhood of Mexico City. Upon arrival, we'll embark on a trajinera ride through the canals to reach the event venue. Are you ready to enjoy the show? Let's discover the chilling legend of La Llorona!

Once at the Laguna de Tlílac, the trajinera will transform into your seat for the spectacle. Did you know that the story of this character dates back to the chronicles of Bernal Díaz del Castillo? This Spaniard was part of the conquest of the Mexican empire, and among his accounts is the tale of La Llorona.

The performance revolves around the soul of an indigenous woman who weeps her sorrows along the canals of Xochimilco. This story, passed down through generations, is now considered a Cultural Heritage.

On the stage, also set on a trajinera, ancient Mexican instruments made of bone and clay, such as ocarinas and whistling jars, along with drums and pumpkin rattles, are showcased. These are blended with instruments brought during the Conquest, such as the marimba, harp, and guitar. Music, light, and color converge in a unique spectacle in Xochimilco! Are you going to miss it?
