Mexico City, Mexico

All the pivotal sequences for ‘The Most Beautiful Flower’ are lensed in and around Mexico City, Mexico’s capital and largest city, and North America’s most populous city. Specifically, Xochimilco, where Michelle Rodríguez grew up and spent her teenage years, serves as one of the primary production locations for the Mexican series. A borough of Mexico City, Xochimilco is famous for its canals, and the colorful gondola-like boats called the Trajineras, which feature in several scenes in the show. 

Situated in the Valley of Mexico, the city attracts millions of tourists annually. Mexico City is home to numerous tourist attractions, including the Angel of Independence, the Castle of Chapultepec, the National Museum of Anthropology, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, Tlatelolco, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, to name a few.

Apart from tourists, Mexico City is frequented by several filmmakers for shooting purposes. Over the years, the city has hosted the production of many movies and TV shows besides ‘The Most Beautiful Flower.’ Some notable ones are ‘Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,’ ‘Whiskey Tango Foxtrot,’ ‘Caveman,’ ‘Rebelde,’ and ‘The House of Flowers.’
