About

The Island of the Dolls (Spanish: 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, Mexico. A multitude of dolls of various styles and colors can be found throughout the island. Local legends surround the dolls and the island's reclusive former owner, Don Julián Santana Barrera, making the island a popular destination for dark tourism. In 2022, Guinness World Records recognized the island as hosting the world’s largest collection of haunted dolls.
