Chalma, Mexico Tourism
12km/7.5mi east lies the village of Chalma, one of Mexico's principal places of pilgrimage. In pre-Columbian times a statue of Otzoctéotl, the god of caves, was worshipped here, and when this was destroyed by Augustinian monks in 1533 and replaced by a large crucifix, popular devotion was transferred to this new object.
