Mexico City’s floating farms
In this July 13, 2017 photo, Gerardo Cristobal navigates his boat as he ferries farmers and laborers to their floating farms called “chinampas” in Xochimilco, Mexico City. Xochimilco, on the far southern edge of Mexico City, is best-known as the “Mexican Venice” for its canals and brightly colored boats where locals and tourists can while away a weekend day listening to mariachi music and sipping cold beers.
