La Isla de las
Muñecas, or in English is 'The Island of Dolls', is a small island near
Teshuilo Lake, between Xochimilco and Mexico City. There lies a series of
waterways called the Xochimilco canals. Tourists navigate by boat or what the
locals call the Trajinera. However, Trajinera pilots avoid going near the
Island of the Dolls.
This
Island of dolls is situated in Mexico and as the name suggests, one expects to
see a beautiful world which will leave an everlasting
impression. But the reality is exactly opposite and very harsh when one
discovers the thousands of mutilated ugly dolls hanging from every tree on the
island. This disturbing sight of decomposing, decapitated dolls serves as a
dark tourist attraction especially for the young generation who is fascinated
by gore and death. Many visitors are overwhelmed by the dead childish faces of
dolls that never lived but appear to haunt this place, always looking at us as
though we were responsible for their deaths.
Much
like the famous Dia de los Muertos, the La
Isla de las Muñecas makes us look at death and
demise in a different light. The dolls of this Island offer a surreal look at
aging and death. Until now, La Isla de las Muñecas still has that
ghostly sight.
Interested ?? :)
