About this tour
The lake environment in the southern part of Xochimilco has given rise to new tourist attractions beyond the native axolotl and the typical trajinera boat ride. The presence of spaces dedicated to the conservation of endangered species, such as the honeybee, has led to the development of areas that promote conservation and involve visitors in efforts to protect the species, as well as in the collection and production of honey-based products.

Cultural Manager
A cultural manager interested in cultural mediation, audiences, and experience design. I enjoy translating cultural content into accessible experiences, working on collaborative projects, and designing processes where active participation is central.
I am particularly interested in museums, reading outreach, exhibitions, and collective learning processes. I find pleasure in well-executed logistics, in creating cultural itineraries, and in collaborative work that transforms projects into meaningful experiences.
