My name is Miroslava. I'm a native of Xochimilco and a proud winner of the most
meaningful beauty contest in CDMX 'La flor más bella del ejido' 2006. Because of this, I
became a cultural ambassador and guardian of my culture and community. I learned
embroidery from my grandma when I was 12 years old, and later on, I continued learning
from handcrafter friends from different communities around Mexico. I've been teaching and
holding workshops on embroidery since 2010. In 2012, I launched a brand/workshop called
"TRAMA", which now, after 13 years of experience and building a community of
handcrafters, offers not only artisanal products and workshops but also unique experiences
to visit and live Xochimilco's culture and nature.

This is a fantastic tour if you wish to learn about the history and culture of Xochimilco and if you do not want/need a party boat. Miroslava was an excellent guide, showing us the market as we gathered locally grown ingredients for lunch. We then had a peaceful cruise through beautiful sections of the canals while assembling our meal. As lunch cooked on the grill Miroslava talked about the local history and her life growing up here. And not surprisingly, the food was delicious! Definitely recommend this tour!
