== Xochimilco == [http://wikitravel.org/en/Mexico_City/Xochimilco wikitravel link] * Transportation: You can take a light rail from Taxquena. From Roma, it takes about 1.5 hours to get to Xochimilco. * Canals :Take one of hundreds of boats (trajineras) through the canals which is all that is left of the lake on which Mexico City was built. I paid 175 pesos but it should be around 145 pesos. You want to take a taxi to Nativitas (about 15 pesos) to get a better deal. When I went, I walked from the station to one of the smaller piers -- I followed the arrows and the people waving their arms -- and they charged 350 pesos/2 people for 2 hours. * Parque Ecologico de Xochimilco (M$20 9am-6pm), boats also tour this ecological park. :* It's also possible to take one that goes to the [http://www.everywheremag.com/places/5452 Island of the Dolls] (creepy!!!) from the Cuemanco landing, four hour round-trip. * Museo Dolores Olmedo Patino (M$40, Tue free, 10am-6pm Tue-Sun) :Large Diego Rivero collection, some Frida Kahlo * Mercado: I don't know the name but it's a big market, so the boat people should know what it is. They will park the boat at the market and wait for you for 30-40 minutes. * You can buy lunch and other handcraft things from boat restaurants/stores. You just wave at them. I had some corn and quesadillas on the boat. You can have some drinks on the boat and pay for what you've had at the end.
