This small island lies in between the canals of Xochimico and features hundreds of disturbing dolls. The island's caretaker, Don Julian Santana Barrera, found a little girl drowned on the Isla de las Muñecas and saw a doll floating nearby. He assumed it belonged to her and hung it to a tree as a sign of respect. Supposedly, Julian was haunted by her spirit and began to hang more dolls for her. He believed that the dolls were possessed by other departed girls and 50 years later, he was found drowned in the same spot. Visitors are able to see these dolls spread throughout the island and mutilated without limbs or heads.
