The colorful gondolas in Xochimilco, the last channels of a gigantic water transport system built by the Aztecs.

In a southern working-class neighborhood of Mexico City you'll find the famous Xochimilco canals, the last remnants of a gigantic water transportation system built by the Aztecs. Here you can sail along the canals in gondola-like boats, past stalls selling food and handmade objects and mariachi bands. There is a festive atmosphere, especially on weekends.
