Go as soon as it is open. i could only spend here 3 hours rather had 4 hours here.

When i entered the searched my bag and i had to go through a gate. dont know if this was because of a bombing (they tried to blow up a police station) the day before or this is normal.

floating Gardens at Xochimilco Nativitas Xochimilco Review

From zocalo you take metro 2 to tasquena then you take the tren ligero to last stop from here you can take a kind of collectivo. i was lucky i could walk with someone to it. it is called something navidatas. dont take a boat at the beginning just follow the water to the end i did get a whole boat for myself for 140 pesos for an hour it is 160 for a bigger boat.

also if you want to use a toilet sanitorios the one near the boat at the end is less crowded 3 pesos.
dont expect floating gardens because they even have houses on them. just enjoy a nice boattrip.it will stop at a place were they sell plants but that were the only flowers i saw. flower season more in april i think and later
from zocalo mexico df takes at least an hour to get at navidas

renting a boat
Embarcadero (nativitas) Trajineras
small toldo azul (blue) 140 pesos an hour
grand toldo verde (green) 160 pesos an hour

did buy a cup of fruit for 20 pesos forgot about water warning but didnot get ill. was also near boat rental at end
