The Lord of the Dolls

Imagine, you’re paddling along a canal near Mexico City, and you are taken to a small island nestled in a lagoon. Verdant lawns, whimsical bridges made of twisted branches, Spanish moss falling in loose curls from crooked trees, from which hang the mangled bodies of endlessly eerie dolls. You heard right! This place, called “The Island of the Dolls”, or “La Isla de las Muñecas” in Spanish, is a small island located in the Xochimilco canal system, south of Mexico City. It is a popular dark tourism destination, and today, we’ll find out why!
