Xochimilco
Xochimilco is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mexico City. As you may know, Mexico City wasn’t exactly built on solid ground. But the ingenuity of the Aztecs turned the watery swampy area into a thriving city that dwarfed European cities like Paris and Rome. It was the “Venice of the New World” – lush gardens, canals and giant buildings.
Most of that city is only a memory, but a few of the canals remain. Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like. (Note: Yes, I’ve been to Xochimilco, but this video isn’t mine)
