About this title

Synopsis:

La historia de Xochimilco es la de un jardin prodigioso y oculto, pleno de veredas de agua y arboles, a la vez que la de una obra maestra de la tecnologia precolombina. Estas paginas recogen el testimonio vivo de la zona lacustre de Mexico antes de la Conquista y ahora. Y nos muestran un antiguo tesoro virreinal en un entorno paradisiaco, perdido, y ahora recuperado. ENGLISH: The story of Xochimilco is that of a lush hidden garden full of trees and canals. It is also a masterpiece of preColumbian hydraulic engineering. The issue is an account of one of Mexicos lake districts, from the time before the Conquest to the present. It shows us a colonial treasure in the midst of a paradise lost and then restored.
