Xochimilco and National University of Mexico
Duration: 6 hours (approx.)
Departs from: Mexico City, Mexico
Product code: 2895MEX6
Xochimilco ('so-chee-MIL-co') is an agricultural area in the south of Mexico City where many of the city's flowers are grown. On this tour you will drift in a flat-bottomed boat 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. It is now your chance to experience this wonder that took place so long ago!
You will also visit the National University, which was founded in 1550 and contains an outdoor gallery of mural art and sculptures.
