Cooking classes are so enjoyable both in terms of getting to make delicious food, but also to learn about the history behind those dishes. But Casa Jacaranda offers more than just a cooking class. It’s a whole day of activities, discoveries, learning opportunities and a chance to make new friends.
When people ask me for something fun and unique to do in Mexico City, the first thing that comes to mind is Sunday mornings, riding down car-free Paseo de la Reforma. This experience is both a fantastic sightseeing opportunity but also an excellent chance to interact with cheery locals, out enjoying their city.

Xochimilco is the Venice of Mexico. It’s an enormous network of canals which spread across this southern district of Mexico City. There are over 170 km of canals which spread out in all different directions. Before the Spanish arrived in Mexico City, the indigenous people of Mexico had created an incredible network of canals which they used as both a means of transport and as a way to ensure there was a constant supply of water throughout the country. Xochimilco means “Floating Gardens” and stands today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as it preserves ancient Aztecs technology.
When visiting any city, it’s nice to have an experience that both exposes you to the city’s everyday culture and also is a unique activity that could only happen there. For me this could be a Gondola ride on the Grand Canal, homemade pasta sitting on a balcony in Tuscany or, as I experience this New Year Eve’s, skating at the McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink inside Chicago’s famous Millennium Park!
