Overview

First stop Xochimilco, the ancient river canals of Mexico City, where you'll learn how to set up your cameras to capture this beautiful sunrise backdrop over traditional quesadillas and Aztec elixir atole. On this tour, you'll learn how to film your culinary experiences like a pro, guided by an award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer, and unlike other food tours, you'll not only enjoy amazing Mexican cuisine, but also take home beautifully crafted videos and photos to share on social media. We then head to the La Paz market to visit Doña Chelita's for a hearty tasting of tacos, mole, freshly made tortillas & more while filming the sights and sounds of a traditional Mexican market. The rest of the day is dedicated to learning a variety of culinary filming techniques while eating in local restaurants. The day ends with a mezcal tasting, a debrief on your film and an award ceremony for the best foodie filmmaker of the hour.

Xochimilco

Arriving at dawn, we will take a sunrise boat ride through the chinampas of Xochimilco, an ancient Mesoamerican agricultural technique used by the Aztecs, often referred to as 'floating gardens', where you will film local people harvesting crops and the natural beauty of these ancient waterways. You'll learn how to set your camera for sunrise and film during the golden hour. We will stop at a chinampa to film a garden and the ingredients that end up on the table and enjoy an atole, a traditional Mexican drink dating back to pre-Columbian times, a snack and coffee or tea on the boat.
