Frequently asked
Where were the Aztec chinampas located?
Chinampas were built in the shallow lakes around Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital in present-day Mexico City. Lake Xochimilco was the main location, where remnants of these floating gardens still exist today and continue producing crops.
How were chinampas actually constructed?
Aztec farmers wove together reeds and stakes to create rectangular frames, then piled mud, lake sediment, and decaying vegetation on top. Willow trees planted around the edges prevented erosion and provided additional crops.
