Paseo Xochimilco

Authentic retail village

Xochimilco is a truly unique and special place, not just within the context of Mexico City, but in the world as whole. People from all over travel to Xochimilco to experience the neighborhood's rich past, cultural traditions, and beautiful natural environment. From the trajineras to the iconic canals and chinampas still remaining from the area's pre-Hispanic era, Xochimilco offers a vibrant array of sights and experiences that cannot be found anywhere else. A place this special deserves a community fireplace that serves as both an homage to its storied past, and as a reflection of the eclectic beauty all around.

As visitors arrive at the main entrance along the southeast side of the project, they encounter the mouth of a canal that harkens back to the ancient waterways that were such a vital part of the economy of the mighty Aztec Empire. 

Continuing along this canal, visitors are ultimately led to the Art Plaza, at which the project's main anchor sits.
