The chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe sits low to the ground with walls fashioned from rough-hewn limestone and a roof thatched with dried palm fronds. This structure serves the community of Lak'Iin, a neighborhood where residents built their own homes on reclaimed land. Instead of using imported materials, they gathered stone from the immediate area to construct a space for worship. A single heavy wooden cross stands before the entrance, marking the spot where neighbors gather for evening prayers and local festivals.
