Mexico City and the floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Gondolas on the Canals at the floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Xochimilco's history goes back to Pre Hispanic times. The "Xochimilcas", the region's inhabitants, were known for the creations of a complex system of agriculture and housing. They used "Chinampas", pieces of compressed saturated mud with tree branches that worked as excellent means for harvesting all kinds of vegetables and plants over the water's surface, creating the famous Channels of Xochimilco or "Floating Gardens". These  Channels are one of the few lasting sites that picture just how the City of Mexico-Tenochtitlan could have looked like back in those days.
