Chicabal Lake rests within an extinct volcanic crater and is sacred to the Mam Mayan people. The lake is supposedly at the center of the Mam Maya cosmos. The lake is surrounded by alters, and ceremonies are conducted around the lake on a daily basis. Pictured here is a leftover candle from one of the ceremonies.
