Travel Profiles By Shaan and Indira

¡Hola! On Day 3 in Mexico City, Shaan and Indira visit MUCHO - Mexico City's dedicated chocolate museum. The sisters explore the ancient Maya and Aztec roots of cacao, how the Spanish changed chocolate forever by adding sugar, and how a humble bean becomes that satisfying snap of a chocolate bar. Fun facts, rich history, and plenty of tasting. 🌱🍫🇲🇽

Shaan and Indira climb up “the hill of the grasshopper” to visit Chapultepec Castle, one of the only real royal palaces in North America. From the story of the Niños Héroes (the Boy Heroes) to Emperor Maximilian’s royal makeover and the sweeping views over Mexico City, the sisters turn a history lesson into an adventurous walk through time. Perfect for curious kids who love castles, battles, and big city skylines.

Welcome to the very first episode of Travel Profiles By Shaan and Indira! For our debut, we’re hopping aboard a colorful trajinera - a traditional flat-bottomed boat - and floating through the ancient canals of Xochimilco, just south of Mexico City. Did you know Xochimilco’s waterways are over 700 years old and were built by the Aztecs? We explore the history, the wildly decorated boats, the floating flower farms called chinampas, and of course - the food vendors paddling right up to you on the water. Equal parts history lesson and total adventure. Vámonos! 🌺🇲🇽
