D	Dia Avila on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hermoso lugar, lleno de misticismo. La iglesia, hay que entrar con mucho respeto y no tomar fotografías pues va a contra la creencia del lugar. Beautiful place, full of mysticism. The church, you have to enter with much respect and not take photographs because it goes against the belief of the place.
J	José E. Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Es un cementerio muy misterioso. Además depende del color de las cruces se sabe quién está enterrado allí ( mujeres, hombres ,jóvenes o a ancianos ) It is a very mysterious cemetery. It also depends on the color of the crosses you know who is buried there (women, men, young or elderly)

E	Enrique Ruiz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visitamos el cementerio que envuelve la antigua iglesia. Es curioso ver las cruces desperdigadas por el campo abierto, puestas sobre montículos de tierra. En algunos montículos se apilaban hasta cuatro cruces lo que significa que esa tumba contiene tantos cuerpos como cruces tenga. Algunos montículos tienen cuatro palos en sus vértices y estos envueltos en alambre rodeando la tumba, eso significa que el cuerpo que allí descansa era de alguna persona respetable. La antigua iglesia fue abandonada cuando el último terremoto la destruyó parcialmente, según los chamulas un templo que no tenga la capacidad de autoprotegerse de un desastre natural no merece la pena rendirle culto, ni siquiera de destruirlo por lo que el mejor castigo es abandonarlo y mantenerlo en el olvido. Ahora quedan unas ruinas en bastante buen estado. We visit the cemetery that surrounds the old church. It is curious to see the crosses scattered across the open field, placed on mounds of earth. In some mounds stacked up to four crosses which means that that grave contains as many bodies as crosses have. Some mounds have four sticks in their vertices and these wrapped in wire surrounding the grave, that means that the body that rests there was of some respectable person. The old church was abandoned when the last earthquake partially destroyed it, according to the Chamula, a temple that does not have the capacity to protect itself from a natural disaster is not worth worshiping, not even destroying it, so the best punishment is to abandon it and keep it In oblivion Now there are some ruins in quite good condition.
c	cisco diet on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ this is the first church in chamula, destroyed by a lightning strike shortly after construction in the late 1500's and now a cemetery. if you are in chamula for el dia del muertos, 1st and 2nd of November, every year, go here for an experience that you will always remember.
