Convent of San Francisco in Kikil, Yucatan 

We are constantly amazed at the structures we come across while traveling through Mexico.

This is the former Convent of San Francisco located in Kikil, Yucatan. Kikil is a small village just north of Tizimín with a population of 85 men and 78 women at last count. You have to love a place that you can count the men and the woman with ease.

This amazing church is not one of a kind in the Yucatan, there are many of them thanks to the Caste Wars. We recommend reading “Caste Wars of the Yucatan” for more information on the shocking history of the area.

As for this church, it hasn’t been used in hundreds of years. As it stands right now, it might be kind of nice to spend time in a church were you can really look up to the heavens.
