Island of the Dead Dolls
After leaving his family, Don Julian Santana Barrera resided on an Island South of Mexico city. Not long after relocating, he made a chilling discovery on the shores of his island: a young girl, drowned in the lake. A doll came floating down the canals shortly afterward, changing the course of Santana Barrera's life and the shape of the island for years to come.
Barrera took the doll and hung it from a tree in order to appease the spirit of the dead girl. But, at least in the eyes of the man who now considered himself the island's caretaker, the one doll was not enough. For the next 50 years, Santana Barrera would scrounge dolls from the trash and from the canals, and hang them from the island's many trees. Some he'd hang whole, others in various states of disrepair — headless, torso-less, or taken apart in other ways.
Many believe that the girl never existed, that he completely made up the story or had some type of mental disorder that caused him to hallucinate it, due to there being no proof of the child actually existing. However, he devoted his entire life to her.
And the creepiest thing of all, in 2001, Don Julian Santana Barrera passed away. His body was discovered — you guessed it — drowned in the canal, in the exact place he always said he'd seen the little girl. In response, tourists began flocking to the island to pay tribute. They brought dolls of their own, and to this day people honor both Santana Barrera and the girl (whether she was real or not) by hanging up dolls in tribute. What do you think? Would you visit this creepy doll island in Mexico city?

The axolotl has been called a “conservation paradox” — a creature that is ubiquitous in pet stores, science labs and pop culture… yet almost extinct in the wild.
The axolotl is an amphibian with incredible regenerative abilities. It lives in only one place outside captivity: the waters of Lake Xochimilco, in Mexico City. Now, a team of scientists is working to secure its future by looking to its past. Working with local farmers, they’re reconstructing a system of chinampas, or island gardens, pioneered by the Aztecs — to restore the axolotl’s habitat. A few hours’ drive to the west, another team is working to save a closely related salamander species by teaming up with Dominican nuns who have raised the creatures in captivity for well over a century. The unusual alliances show that saving species can be as much about culture and heritage as it is about science.

To save axolotls, a campaign in Mexico asks people to virtually adopt them
Despite their never-ceasing grins, axolotls have been at risk of extinction for years.
Over two decades ago, there were about 6,000 of these tiny salamanders for every square kilometer in Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City. In the last count from 2014, there were only about 36 axolotls per square kilometer, according to Luis Zambrano, who was involved in the axolotl census. "It's gotten worse. They're not completely extinct, but it's worse," said Zambrano, who is also an ecologist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Although their population has dwindled dramatically over the years, the creatures are more popular than ever thanks to social media and the video game Minecraft. Becoming an online sensation has also led to real world impact in pet stores, where demand for axolotls has skyrocketed...

These guys keep poping on my pc's wallpaper and bringing me inmese joy and I belive I've never posted them before?
Long-ish rant baout them under the cut<3
So, last year I went to Mexico City and took a trip around Xochimilco for the first time, had an amaxing time, creeped out my mom and her friends because I instisted on going to la isla de las muñecas and they hated it there
(I mean, it was kinds creepy but I didn't really feel any bad vibes in there, I honestly thought I was gonna get kind of scared going in but no, I even asked the doll a favor and left her money and a promisse to go visit again and leave a doll on the island if it fulfills the favor, still hasn't happened but I have hopes)
Anyways after creeping out my mom's friends and impressing the guy rowing the trajinera by knowing the legend of la isla de las muñecas so well, we stoped by the ajolotario (where they have the axolotls!)
Tumblr media
I bought a stuffed keychain axolot for one of my brother because it's his favorite animal, then I also ended up picking one for me and my other brother, so they are a whole set! and they are siblings just like us! They even match!
My brothers loved them and carry them in their backpacks all the time, and I ended up drawing them/us and making a version with the clothes I tend to draw us with and the accent colors to match our favorite colors

Mexico's agrotourism cooperative: saving the axolotl
“The whole concept of this agrotourism cooperative started because we wanted to save the axolotl species, a salamander-like amphibian that is only found in Xochimilco,” said Del Valle. “We’re all about preserving this way of life. We plant small crop beds and sell our flowers to buyers from Jamaica. Our products also go to alternative outlets and directly to consumers. Top-notch restaurants like Chantico, Tetetlan and Antolina Condesa also buy our seasonal products.”

Day Ozomahtli (Monkey), known as Chuen in Maya is governed by Xochipili, the Flower Prince, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Ozomahtli is a day for creating, for play, for celebrating. Xochipili Talon Abraxas
Xochipilli or the 'Prince of Flowers' was the Mesoamerican god of summer, flowers, pleasure, love, dancing, painting, feasting, creativity and souls. He is a benevolent manifestation of Piltzintecuhtli, the young sun god who was himself a manifestation of Tonatiuh, the supreme sun god of Mesoamerica. The god is closely associated with the corn (maize) god Centéotl and was sometimes referred to as the 'Corn-flower Prince' or Centéotl-Xochipilli, the 7th Lord of the Day. For the Aztecs he could also appear as Ahuiatéotl, the god of voluptuousness and he was also associated with butterflies, poetry and the 11th of the 20 Aztec days: Ozomatli (Monkey). He was considered one of the Ahuiateteo, the gods of excess, and for the Zapotec he was Quiabelagayo. Generally speaking, though, he was thought of as something of a youthful and care-free pleasure-seeker, perhaps with a playfully mischievous streak.
Xochipilli may have origins in the earlier Mesoamerican god worshipped at Teotihuacán during the Pre-Classic to Classic Period who is known simply as the Fat God. In Aztec mythology Xochipilli has two brothers Ixtlilton (the god of health, medicine and dancing) and Macuilxóchitl (the god of games). As a group this good-time trio represented health, pleasure and happiness. The god also has a sister (or female counterpart), Xochiquetzal.
Particularly worshipped at Xochimilco, the most common offering to the god was corn and during his festivals, which were held in the early growing season and during Tecuilhuitontli (the 8th Aztec month), pulque (the alcoholic beverage made from the maguey or agave plant) was copiously drunk. Statues of the god were also frequently decked out with flowers and even butterflies.
Perhaps the most famous representation of the god in art is the Late Post-Classical Period (1450-1500 CE) statue, a masterpiece of Aztec sculpture, now residing in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The statue is 1.2 metres high and has Xochipilli seated on a temple platform (or perhaps a drum) which is decorated with butterflies, flowers and clusters of four dots representing the sun. Xochipilli is wearing a mask and is himself covered in flowers from psychotropic plants, hallucinogenic mushrooms and animal skins. Cross-legged and care-free the god is portrayed happily singing and playing his rattles, a vibrant symbol of all the good things in life.
