Xochimilco Essentials

Xochimilco preserves the last remnants of the Aztec chinampa agricultural system, a network of man-made islands and canals. This collection highlights the traditional wooden boats departing from docks like Embarcadero Belem, the extensive Mercado Xochimilco, and the specialized flower market near the Deportivo. Beyond the waterways, the Museo Dolores Olmedo houses a significant collection of works by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo within a 16th-century stone hacienda, surrounded by gardens inhabited by xoloitzcuintli dogs and peacocks.
