chichi cemetery印象
-
Had I not gone to the amazing cemetery in Xela first, I would have been more impressed with the colors and style of the mausoleums. The interesting thing about this cemetery is that they Maya hold rituals in the middle of it, so we got to see a wedding ceremony and a few others we weren't sure of. Beware of exploding cans of jalepenos offered as sacrifices. The shrapnel makes it pretty far!

We had a guide take us through the cemetery which was full of colorfully painted tombstones, shamans and only a 5 minute walk from the town square. Well worth the visit if you are in Chichi

At the end of the street just up the hill from the Hotel-Museum Mayan Inn (which is a very beautiful comfortable colonial style hotel, with each room uniquely furnished and decorated in authentic antiques, colonial museum pieces and a fireplace) you will find the Chichchicastenango cemetery. This local cemetery has many beautiful and colourful mausoleums, where local Mayan shamans still practice their arts.

The cemetery sits up on a hill, with all the 'above' ground gravesites of varying sizes and colors...some quite elaborate with embedded pictures of those gone to rest.The poorer folks are buried under ground, with nary a mention.

A short walk from the market. We went early in the morning and walked around the area. There were people there with candles and incense. A very different place from most American cemeteries.

Just a short walk down the hill and up the right hill slightly from Mayan inn hotel. Walk takes only less than 10 mins from here to the cemetery. Walk around and view the colours. Locals walk through here to get to their village. Observe locals pay respect to their loved ones with fresh flowers or a ritual.

as I am from this small town, my grandparents, uncles and friends are all buried in this cemetery, and I'm sure my parents will end up here one day, all I can say is this place no matter how many times you visit it is one place that will always bring a smile to your face, the colorful tombs and mausoleums make the place cheerful, it makes the place serene. I place a flower on my relatives graves every visit i make. If you are ever in the area make sure you pay the cemetery a visit, I know, sounds strange to recommend visiting a cemetery as an attraction, but you will not be disappointed. and make sure you walk all the way to the back where they built a mayan altar for the mayan end of calendar event.

This was really interesting to see. Very colorful mausoleums throughout. It was an unusual time to visit because people are preparing for Dia de Los Muertos and many Mayans are burning sacrifices. Beware of exploding eggs!

Stay here for about 30 minutes and start wondering through the cemetery.....It is not your typical cemetery in other countries. This one is colorful and interesting. Lot of designs and visiting here will make you appreciate the different cultures....

Colourful as the country itself are these grave thumb stones on this graveyard.worth the walk down and up the hill to see this above the ground graves.Remember respect the dead, take photo from a distance.
