Mexico City's Rowing Track
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Content creator and pilot Normal Mexican Guy created this fascinating drone video of the Virgilio Uribe rowing course in the Xochimilco District south of central Mexico City. It runs through a series of canals here which are vestiges from the extensive lake system which covered much of the Valley of Mexico in Pre-Columbian times but which was drained by the Spanish to control floods. Famously, the course was used as the venue for rowing events when Mexico City hosted the 1968 Summer Olympics.
