The Island of the Dolls (La Isla de las Muñecas) is a chinampa of the Laguna de Tequila located in the channels of Xochimilco, south of the center of Mexico City. It is a popular tourist attraction due to dolls of various styles and colors being found throughout the island. They were originally placed by the former owner of the island, Julián Santana Barrera, who passed from a heart attack in 2001. He believed that dolls helped to chase away the spirit of a girl who drowned years ago
According to a legend, a young girl drowned entangled among
the lilies of the canal and her body was found on the banks of the Santampa
chinampas. Santana claimed to have heard the girl crying out "I want my
doll" and terrified, hung up the doll he found near the girl's body. After
the event, every time he went outside, he claims to have found a new doll
hanging from one of the trees. He later died in the same spot the girl drowned.
Many believe that his death was caused by the girl's spirit, which still haunts
the island.
