A mexican party for “5 de mayo” everyday? Yes Please.
At Riviera Maya there is one place that shines with vibrant colors, joyful music and the festive essence of Mexican culture: Xoximilco Cancun. This unique destination offers an experience that feels like a continuous celebration, where every day is like a 5 de Mayo celebration-
While in Mexico the date commemorates the Battle of Puebla, in the United States it has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture. It is a day filled with pride, music, delicious food and a sense of community that transcends borders.
In Xoximilco, this same festive energy is experienced every day. Upon entering the canals, visitors are greeted with the warmth and hospitality that characterizes Mexico. The trajineras, colorful traditional boats, are the perfect setting to enjoy a unique experience in the company of friends and family.
The party in Xoximilco is a journey through music, dance and delicious food.
Starting before boarding the trajinera with the party on the island, where the first musical group performs and you can dance among the mojigangas, tall puppets that honor a tradition full of rythm and color.
When boarding the trajinera at the pier you can also enjoy the botellófono, while you find your boat.
Traditional Mexican music fills the air, during each stop on the musical trajineras you can enjoy each of the presentations, among them Los Rancheros, El Mariachi, Los Norteños and Las Maderas que Cantan.
Freshly prepared Mexican food invites you to try a variety of authentic dishes, from mole, cochinita pibil and more typical Mexican dishes, accompanied by an open bar of aguas frescas, beer and tequila. Everything you need to party in pure mexican style.
Halfway through the tour the trajinera makes a technical stop at “El Pueblito” where you can buy a souvenir at “El Xangarrito”.
And also enjoy another musical presentation at the Pueblito's palapa.
But beyond the food and music, what really makes Xoximilco Cancun special is the people. Here, visitors have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and share laughter, dancing and unforgettable experiences. It is a place where differences fade away and what remains is the celebration of culture.
It is important to recognize that the celebration of Cinco de Mayo in the United States may have its own interpretations and meanings, which may differ from the way it is celebrated in Mexico. However, at Xoximilco, any reason is enough to celebrate, offering visitors an authentic and exciting experience that celebrates Mexico's rich heritage in a unique and vibrant way.
So next time you're in Cancun, don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the magic of Xoximilco. Whether you're celebrating Cinco de Mayo or just enjoying life, every day here is a party you'll never forget.
