Visita el Santuario del Señor de Huaxtla

In the neighboring community, you’ll find Santuario del Señor de Huaxtla, the church with the colorful, petatillo (red brick) facade, dedicated to a miraculous Christ figure. It is said to have been carved in the 17th century from wood from a tree that fell into a river. People from the surrounding areas come here to kneel before the blue, neoclassical altar and ask for protection. On the left side of the church, you’ll find the Virgen del Rayo a representation from Ocotlán depicting the Virgin Mary with the moon at her feet.
