Lonely Planet review for Iglesia de Santo Tomás

Dating from 1540, this church is often the scene of religious rituals that are only slightly Catholic and more distinctly Mayan. For much of the day (especially on Sunday), the path to the church smolders with incense of copal resin, while indigenous prayer leaders swing censers (usually tin cans poked with holes) and chant magic words.
