CHAJUL

Chajul is a two-hour drive from Nebaj and worth a visit if you want to see a village that still is immersed in its Mayan traditions.  The houses are made of adobe.  Traveling by horse, donkey or by foot is still the standard mode of transportation on the dirt streets. 

A beautifully restored church contains altsrs and sculptures which date back to the Colonial period.  There is also a painting in the church which depicts the victims of Guatemala's civil war. Chajul is also part of the Ixil Triangle.
