WATER TOURS

Mexico City -- One of the oldest settlements in Mexico are the Xochimilco Gardens. There are two main parts to Xochimilco - a traditional area and a newer ecological park north of town. Both areas offer excellent bird watching. As testament to the site's historic value, UNESCO declared Xochimilco a Cultural Heritage Site in 1987.

Oaxaca City -- The Santa Catalina Monastery was built in 1576 as the second nun monastery in the Americas. Today's Camino Real Hotel, this was the second nun monastery in the America, built in 1576. Take a peak at Los Lavaderos fountain, an ingenious hydraulic system used in the colonial era. The water flows at a steady rate from a large central fountain to a dozen stone basins used by nuns for laundry. The patio is crowned by a casuarina tree.

FYI - Mexico's largest freshwater lake, Lake Chapala is located in the state of Jalisco.
