Description
from the portfolio depicting workers in various geographical Mexican states. Tlahuac is located on the southeastern edge of Mexico, under one of the 16 boroughs. This region is extensively covered by lakes, and is categorized into three zones of lakebeds, transitional areas and hills. The moist climate along with lakes and canals have allowed people to harvest vegetations such as broccoli, beets, chili peppers, peas, fava beans and corn, and to travel on boats called trajinera.
