last night I went on the Xela Cemetery Necro Tour. As you can probably tell from the pictures below it was a night tour of a Xela Cemetery, which is the oldest in the country. It was founded about forty years before Guatemala's independence so a lot of the history of the country is tied up in the cemetery. It was really interesting to see some of the burial sites of Guatemala's most famous artists and politicians but what was best about the tour was the art within the cemetery. Below are just a few examples of that art. The first picture is of an angel who had its head removed by an art thief.
