    With its colorful streets and old houses, the Xochimilco neighborhood stands out for being one of the oldest neighborhoods in this city founded in 1486 by Xochimilca - Aztec warriors where we will see old pre-colonial buildings. Right here are the arches of Xochimilco of colonial construction that were part of the San Felipe aqueduct built in the mid-eighteenth century to supply water to the population. A must-see when visiting Oaxaca!

Today it is a cultural center made up of the Ex-convent, the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Burgoa Library and the Public Newspaper Archive.
