The island of the dolls

Do you know about The Island of Dolls in Mexico?! This small island in the Xochimilco canals is home to hundreds of dolls, which were placed there by a local man who believed they would protect his daughter from drowning. The dolls, now weathered and decayed, create a haunting and unsettling atmosphere.

I (Ashley) went there a few years ago and was seriously spooked. I’m glad I saw it, but I don’t need to see it again. Dolls freak me out! Highly recommend exploring the rest of Xochimilco, though!
