Xochimilco - Mexico City
Date: Saturday, June 03
Topic: Attractions


About 20km south of downtown Mexico City lies Xochimilco which means 'Place where Flowers Grow' in Nahuatl.  It is known for its canals, which remain one of Mexico's favorite destinations for recreation and relaxation.  After boarding one of the colorful punts steered by a man with a pole, you'll find yourself cruising the canals with parties of merrymakers and tourists.  It's especially more fun to go on weekends as the fiestas atmosphere takes over and the whole district comes alive with the crowd.
