mariachis en Xochimilco

The Xochimilco area in Mexico City is better known for its extended series of canals — all that remains of the ancient Lake Xochimilco. According to the Códice Ramírez, Xochimilco ("place where flowers grow") was originally founded on an island in Lago de Xochimilco in 919 b.c. by a Náhuatl-speaking tribe that called themselves Xochimilcas. Semi-independent of the Aztecs, they fought many wars with neighboring tribes before the Spanish conquest. Today, the central colonia of Xochimilco serves as a living museum for prehispanic Mexico City, conserving the ancient canals and chinampas (floating gardens) of a long-lost lifestyle.
