Reserva Ecologica Cuemanco-Xochimilco

There are a lot of tourists in the ecological reserve. When we went there were many tourists, there were a lot of things to see here, it was fun, you can pay for some projects, it is worth participating! !

Hochmilco cruise, murals at the University of Mexico, museum of humanity, through Cindy's account of Mexican history, today has a basic understanding of Mexico

The Hochmilco Ecological Reserve on the outskirts of Mexico City is actually a large wetland park. The river is crisscrossed and covered with wild trees on both sides. You can take a wooden boat tour here. You can see many cherished wildlife, it is worth visiting.

Squirrel nana I rode in the colorful trajinera (canoe) and listened to Mexican enthusiastic Mariachi music, and crossed into the mysterious and intricate Xochimilco Canal. Like the Xochimilco canal in Venice, Mexico, there are colorful boats carrying tourists from all over the world. Some of them hold telescopes and watch the birds parked on the top of trees by the river. Xochimilco, a 3,000-hectare ecological park in southern Mexico City, is protected on 400 acres. Xochimilco, which means where flowers grow, begins to tell the history of the cultivated land that has been cultivated behind it. Far from the Aztec civilization of the 1st century, when the Aztecs occupied Mexico City, they created chinamperos (floating garden) on the Xochimilco Canal, which was made of tree trunks and reeds, and then dug earth from the bottom of the lake and spread crops on the raft. They are placed on shallow lakes and fixed by willow trees along the river. The canals provide endless water sources, which have enabled the Aztecs to grow crops such as corn to feed their populations, and have become an important cornerstone of the empire's growing strength. To facilitate river irrigation, floating farms need to be separated by rivers and the number gradually increases. Over time, the soil under the "floating farm" piled up until it surfaced to become a real island and crisscrossed canals (waterways), which became the landscape of Xochimilco today. However, Xochimilco, considered one of Mexico City’s “big lungs,” has undergone a period of change, with its lakes and canals gradually drying up, and its salinity and pollutants seriously affecting local agriculture. By the 1980s, the government needed to ban farmers from growing crops in the area. To save and protect the ecosystem of the "giant lungs", the Mexican government designated a biological reserve in 1984 and launched a large-scale Hochmierko ecological rescue plan (Plan de Rescate Ecológico de Xochimilco), aimed at restoring the chinampa ecosystem to the state of the Aztec Empire. It is preserved in this way. In 1987, UNESCO listed the area as a World Heritage Site. Leaded by renowned Mexican garden designer Mario Schjetnan , the center created a 300-hectare ecological park, resupply the treated water to surface water, and invited biologists and botanists to introduce native vegetation, and even transported the soil vacated by the earthquake and construction of the subway. After five years of construction, the park opened to the public in 1993. In just ten years, it has 240,000 trees and 500,000 other plants, covering more than 210 hectares. Stepping into the ecological park, the first thing that attracted the attention was the visitor center outside the inner circle, the walls were painted orange and blue, the colors were bright and bold, and it was very full of Mexican style. When I stepped up the stairs, I felt like I was entering a temple in Aztec in the ancient times. Underground of the square is a grid of geometric grasslands. Think carefully about its history. It is probably imagining the floating agricultural land composed of rafts in the past. Another feature that dominates the park is the snail-shaped water tower, which is an important position for the water source. How can the park be transported by small boats without the characteristic piers. At the end of a series of docks, there are fountains. These giant snakes spew out rivers from their mouths, pumping recycled water into lakes and reirrigating land. This can't help but remind me of the Mexican ancient Mayan civilization wing snake god, has the Mexican designer's genes subtly injected into the water around the reeds, it seems that the designer does not forget the hard work of the reeds. Xochimilco, the land of flower growth, the holy place for tourists, the site where flower farmers gather. Originally, near the largest flower market in the Americas, selling a variety of plants, you will not go?

The environment is very unique and the style is unified. I like this stylish place.

Hochmilco Ecological Reserve is a very nice park in Mexico City. The ecological reserve has very large marsh lake virgin forests. You can take a awning boat with Mexican characteristics and visit the entire rainforest area. The scenery is really beautiful and very leisurely.
