Overview

First stop Xochimilco, the ancient river canals of Mexico City, where you'll learn how to set up your cameras to capture this beautiful sunrise backdrop over traditional quesadillas and Aztec elixir atole. On this tour, you'll learn how to film your culinary experiences like a pro, guided by an award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer, and unlike other food tours, you'll not only enjoy amazing Mexican cuisine, but also take home beautifully crafted videos and photos to share on social media. We then head to the La Paz market to visit Doña Chelita's for a hearty tasting of tacos, mole, freshly made tortillas & more while filming the sights and sounds of a traditional Mexican market. The rest of the day is dedicated to learning a variety of culinary filming techniques while eating in local restaurants. The day ends with a mezcal tasting, a debrief on your film and an award ceremony for the best foodie filmmaker of the hour.
