  • Church of St. Juan Bautista, San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, Mexico
    For a small fee, tourists can visit the church, a very peculiar place whose interior cannot be photographed due to the same beliefs of the inhabitants. The architecture of the temple is colonial in style, however, both the interior and exterior are painted white and the stone of the original construction has been completely covered. Inside there are no traditional benches to sit and pray, as the inhabitants kneel and pray. They create a very special mystical atmosphere by performing rituals that are the product of the mixture of the evangelization of the 16th century with the pre-Hispanic Mayan religious beliefs. Believers pray in front of multicolored candles of different sizes, there are usually rows of candles attached to the ground. Also the floor is almost completely covered with the branch of a pine, since the Chamula beliefs consider it a sacred tree and with the objective of being in front of God, they come closer through the pine and the candlelight

El guía y el Conductor hicieron de esta una gran experiencia. Los pueblos y las iglesias que visitamos son un must si están visitando san Cristobal. Nuestro guía fue extremadamente amable y profesional, estuvo todo el tiempo al pendiente del grupo y respondía a todas nuestras dudas. Muchas gracias por su increíble trabajo.

San Juan church is only thing worth seeing. Rest of tour could have been missed. In hindsight Uber there and back to the church would have been better.
