Aerial view of the Dachimilco chinampa at golden hour, trajineras on the canal, November 2024

Private social club · Xochimilco, Mexico City

A private social club on a chinampa, far from the city's traffic.

Dachimilco is a Soviet-style dacha on a floating-garden island in Xochimilco: vegetable beds, quiet canals and slow afternoons, a short walk from the boat landing. It isn't open to the public — you come in on one of our tours or as a member. Made for expats, digital nomads and travellers who want a calmer side of Mexico City.
