The island of dolls... 💀

When we talk about visiting an island, surely palm trees, sun, sand and a spectacular blue sea come to mind? However, this island is far from all that fantasy....

Located in Mexico, specifically south of Mexico City in the park of Xochimilco...

The island of the dolls is a Chinampa, formation made with a kind of rafts with land that when growing their plants and settle give greater territory to the area and is planted, in this case has served to promote tourism and a great legend...

Now...

Why do they call it that?

Although it may seem strange to you, this desolate place is full of dolls hanging in the trees and throughout the site, has about 2200 dolls with gloomy appearance, some mutilated, with ugly eyes, bodies invaded by spiders or other insects, wrapped by vines and plants of the place, which have grown for over 70 years, since the site was baptized...

Legend has it that by the 1950s, the small island was cared for by Don Julián Santana barrera. One day he surprisingly found the body of a girl, immediately tried to revive her without success, drowning in strange circumstances, possibly entangled in the channel and generating in him a feeling of guilt and frustration.

Nowadays many people visit the place, not caring about the bad omen, the spookiness of the place, the signs of paranormal activity, as there are witnesses who claim to hear voices and see dolls move, as well as dogs barking due to the presence of strange spirits...

If you want to visit the island, meet Mr. Julian's favorite doll and enjoy this legend, you can do it through a tourist tour or arrive at the pier of Cuemanco or Embarcadero Fernando Celada and rent a trajinera as they call it, which will give you a tour through the canals of the Teshuilo Lagoon until you reach the place...I give you a good luck tip, you must rent one that has your name, where you come from or with the word of the intention with which you go... 😅

Also you must be careful because there are 5 smaller replicas before arriving to the island and also be careful NOT to touch the dolls because you could bring some curse...😈
I attach an image with some reference prices for trajinera rentals and meals in Xochimilco.

Also the page of the place HERE and two videos at the end so you can see what it's all about.
I'll give you a heads up that the locals think the island is haunted... 👻

And Would you dare to go to the island of the dolls? 😇
