Pronounced “so-chee-meel-ko,” thsi spot serves as the starting points for the colorful trajineras (traditional wooden boats) that navigate the canals, offering tourists and locals scenic boat rides through this CDMX nieghborhood. I suggest launching from Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas as it's the closest Island to the Island of the Dead Dolls.
