Zinacantán

The Tzotzil name means “Place of Bats”. The sacred spaces that make up this place are marked by hills that surround a small valley and the complex formed by the Church of San Lorenzo and the chapels dedicated to the Christ of Esquipulas and Saint Sebastian. The community museum Sna Jsotz’Lebetik (Home to Bats) is a traditional building made of mud and straw, where the cultural hoard of the natives of Zinacatán is presented in synthesis. Guides are provided for visitors, and local craftsmen demonstrate their way of working.
