ROMERILLO is a Tzotzil community in the municipality of San Juan Chamula. According to the belief of the indigenous people of Romerillo community, the souls of the deceased come to visit their relatives every November 1st, so 15 days before the relatives organize and clean roads, sidewalks, patios and surroundings so that “The deseased won’t get lost or stumble upon arrival.” The Romerillo Pantheon, located on a mountain crowned with 22 huge Tzotzil crosses, is one of the places rarely visited by tourists and is a very genuine experience, rough in some way.
