Xochimilco ('so-chee-MIL-co') is an agricultural area in the south of Mexico City where
many of the city's flowers are grown. Tours are available for tourists to drift in
flat-bottomed boats through the lovely floating gardens of Xochimilco and take in the
once-enormous agrarian canal system that fed the Aztec capital.
In Aztec times, with prime farmland being scarce, the Indians developed a system of
floating reed mats loaded with soil and used them as gardens and you can now experience
this wonder that took place so long ago!
