Capilla y Panteón de Guadalupe
Panteón de Guadalupe
An old church and cemetery on the hillside north of town. Iron crosses and stone tombs under high-plateau light create a powerful atmosphere.
The Church of Guadalupe was built in the late 18th century and is one of the town's earliest churches. It now serves as the cemetery chapel. Around it lies an old miners' cemetery, with stone tombs and iron crosses in rows against a barren valley backdrop, making it a popular spot for photography. It's about a 15-minute walk north from the plaza, with a steep uphill section. During Day of the Dead the cemetery is decorated with flowers and candlelight, the most atmospheric time to visit. Please respect the graves and don't step on the headstones.
