So fascinating about the dolls, I have never heard of that before!

Love Mexico! I’ve been going since my early 20’s and still try to get back once or twice a year. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Mexico City — absolutely going to go to Isla de las Munecas next time! What a wild place!

Island of the Dolls sounds very creepy but interesting. I’m with you I’d stick to the tequilla and not look too close!

Isla de las munecas is my nightmare come to life, I don’t think I’d be able to go there 🙂

I’ve been to Xochimilco but never heard about the Island of the Dolls. Weird and wonderful indeed.

We ran into a small display of dolls hanging from a tree on Big Corn Island off the coast of Nicaragua which definitely gave me the creeps so I can understand your reluctance to check out the Isla de las Munecas! However, the Olmedo Patino Museum sounds fascinating and a must see if we visit Mexico City. I’ll also be checking out GPSMyCity – just what I need since I spend a lot of time wandering around new cities and have no sense of direction!

The island of the dolls looks pretty eerie as you say. But on the other hand to think that the floating gardens of Xochimilco date back to the Aztecs is pretty special. Sounds a fascinating trip, and one I’d put on my list for sure 🙂

Wow – this is a place I never new until I read this wonderful post. The baby dolls on the trees honestly would have done me in. It would be hard to focus on all of the other natural beauty, however I would really like to see the historic art collection of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

I can’t even pronounce some of the places in Mexico! The colours are so vibrant but the dismembered dolls would kind of freak me out!

This looks like such a fun excursion when visiting Mexico City!
