The Mayan Religion: Inside a Mayan Ceremony

David’s Been Herebrings you along Lake Atitlan to the town of Santiago Atitlan, which sits tucked in between two major volcanoes. Take a tour through the town’s local religions, as David displays the Church of Santiago and the local Chapel Masimong. Here David gets a peak inside Mayan traditions as the locals pray to their god Masimong- a ‘smoking’ Mayan god, who is believed to help cure illnesses. After filming a local ceremony inside the chapel, David takes off for Panajachel- Lake Atitlan’s most popular and touristic town. Check out the main streets and amazing views of the volcanoes towering over the lake as David walks around this beautiful waterfront spot.
