Floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Xochimilco, an agricultural area 28 km (27 miles) south of Mexico City, where many of the city's flowers are grown. In Aztec times, this valley was a lake. Find out how the local people, as an alternative to the lack of farmland, developed islands with floating earth-covered mats and used them as gardens called chinampas. Today, these gardens are an ecological reserve and belong to the UNESCO World Heritage list and one of Frida Kahlo's favorite places. Here you will not only get information about its origins, which date back to pre-Hispanic times, but you will also be able to enjoy a traditional trajinera ride.
