Living in Tláhuac
Tláhuac, Mexico City, is the largest and most rural borough in the southeastern part of the capital (83 km², 5.7% of Mexico City's territory), nestled in the former Lake Xochimilco at 2,230 meters above sea level. Its flat volcanic terrain and pre-Hispanic chinampas—a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987—make it a unique location. Here, approximately 370,000 inhabitants live in indigenous villages like San Andrés Mixquic and Santa María Nativitas, as well as in traditional neighborhoods, alongside chinampa farmers in seven productive zones. The area also boasts volcanoes like Tláhuac-Xico and attractions such as Cuatro Vientos, the Zoo, and the Nopal Fair.
Notable neighborhoods include Ampliación La Conchita (retail trade), Guadalupe Yecahuizotl (60 businesses), La Nopalera (700 retail jobs), Santa Ana Norte (5,000 inhabitants, low rent) and Barrio La Soledad (692 inhabitants, 32 ha, low commerce), with agricultural economy (nopal, corn), low housing cost and security challenges in peripheral areas, ideal for families looking for chinampa tradition, green spaces and proximity to Xochimilco via Metro Line 12.
