In Xochimilco, Mexico City, Aztec-Era Floating Gardens Offer a Path to Sustainable Eating | Condé Nast Traveler
"In the southern reaches of Mexico City, densely populated neighborhoods give way to the intricate canal system of Xochimilco Ecological Park, a 400-acre reserve with patches of farmland that appear to float in the water. Remnants of the Aztec civilization that once occupied this region, these “floating gardens” are known as chinampas."
