Pre-Hispanic sunrise of Xochimilco
In the South of the Mexico City, we can find Xochimilco, where prehispanic natives built the chinampas on top of a great lake. This are islands used for agriculture, that through time, conformed a great network of canals, in which we will sail through time, enjoying nature and the presence of its flora and fauna. We will embark on a cayuco (small boat), a little bit before sunrise and we´ll silently watch the birds waking up through the mist, realizing that this is a living ecosystem which is home for several native birds, including migrating ones. We are going to row through the canals, the same way as the natives did it so many years ago. We´ll have a small coffe break and arrive to our chinampa in time for breakfast. Then, we will learn from the ancient and new techniques used at the chinampa to produce a sustainable an organic agriculture. Other things to note: It is advise that guests should know how to swim, just in case ; ) There´s a dry toilet for men and women at the chinampa. As well as water and soap to wash your hands and face.
Ancient México Cooking Experience
This experience is as much about history as it is about food. The objectives are that each guest will leave feeling: Excited, informed, and loving Mexico even more! We will begin our journey with an introduction to what pre-hispanic life was like, around the times of the first interactions between the Mayan's and the Aztecs. For example, a very important trait of all food at the time was the perfect aroma and flavor... it was believed that the God's would not accept your offerings of foods to them if these two traits were not right. Next, we will explore the tools and implements, and also explain what each are used for, and allow the guests to get involved by using first the "molcajete" and "metate" to make two types of salsas by hand. Next, guests will learn to make two types of tortillas, white and blue, by hand. Mole and camote are next, and we will be making enchiladas de mole. For our salad, we will be creating either a "ensalada de nopal" or guacamole, depending on the ingredients available on that day. We will then be teaching the guests how to two types of "agua del dia", or fruit water. All recipes from traditional ingredients.
