The canals of Xochimilco are what's left of the lake the Aztecs farmed, and the painted boats are a genuine party tradition, not an invented one. Going in the morning means gliding past the chinampa farms while the water is glassy, with a stop at a working island farm that still supplies the city's best restaurants. Weekend afternoons get loud, boozy and boat-jammed — great if that's the goal, chaos if it isn't.
