Salcajá
Salcajá is a municipality in Quetzaltenango department of Guatemala. Salcajá is best known for the Church of San Jacinto, founded in 1524, which was the first church built in Central America. It is also known as La Conquistadora("The Conqueror") presumably because of the time period and its religious influence on the indigenous population. After 432 years and several earthquakes, the building still is in relatively good condition.
San Andrés Xecul
San Andrés Xecul is a municipality in the Totonicapán department of Guatemala.
San Cristóbal Totonicapán
San Cristóbal Totonicapán is a municipality in the Totonicapán department of Guatemala. In the second week in December they have a festival called "Festival de Guadalupe" where people paint their whole bodies with body paint to become diablos. They then walk through the main street and are likely to smaer some paint on you.
1902 Guatemala earthquake
The 1902 Guatemala earthquake struck on April 18, 1902 at 20:23:50 hrs. It had an estimated magnitude of 7.5 Mw and an epicenter depth of approximately 25 km. The quake had a duration of 1 to 2 minutes and had many foreshocks and aftershocks. The area around Quetzaltenango and Sololá was particularly hard hit. Approximately 800 to 900 were killed, and nearly all churches in western Guatemala and eastern Chiapas were heavily damaged or destroyed.
Chapel of San Jacinto
The Chapel of San Jacinto (Spanish: Capilla de San Jacinto) is a Roman Catholic chapel located in the town of Salcajá, Guatemala. It is said to have been founded by the Franciscans in 1524, the same year the Maya K'iche' kingdom was conquered by the Spanish conquistadores, and is claimed to be the first church built in Central America. Although there is no historical evidence to support that claim, the chapel can be considered a fine example of early Spanish colonial architecture.
