Chiantla
+ Add a Photo
Located just outside of Huehuetenango, the small town of Chiantla is actually just as old as its larger neighbor, dating back to colonial times. During the colonial era, Chiantla was a rich silver mining town, and although most of the silver made its way back to Spain, some of it survives in the magnificent cathedral. The famous Virgen del Rosario, a small statue of the Virgin all dressed in fine garments and silver, resides in Chiantla’s cathedral: every now and then the locals take her out for a procession through the streets.
