Driving along the highway we saw in the distance a town, Cuetzalan. It is a pretty good-sized community compared to tiny Yohualichan. We found our way over there primarily because we wanted to see the huge church you can see in the picture. It seemed so odd that such a large and ornate church would exist in such a very remote area. The town center is the church.


In front is a tall and ancient tree which was brought in for the voladores to climb up and swing from upside down, suspended from the top by ropes. It is a crazy event to watch on a metal pole, but on this dead old pine? No thanks!
