We took a tour today to two villages outside of San Cris.  The first village was Chamula.  Our tour guide spoke English and had connections to that village.  He warned us about the use of cameras inside the church or whenever we were watching ceremonies inside the home of a spiritual adviser.  The church in town is no longer a part of the Catholic Church having thrown the last priest out a hundreds years ago.  They do allow a priest to come out once a month for baptisms.  They have a mixture of Catholic traditions and native traditions.  While we were there a woman was performing a healing ceremony for a client that involved candles, incense and a chicken that did not leave the church in the same way as it entered.  It's all interesting and I am not there to judge.  We saw a man in the local jail who had been sentenced to one day in jail.  If he has another incident then some community service will be needed.  Third time and you are expelled from town permanently.  Our guide told us of a man who had recently raped a young woman.  He was tried and put to death in a very unpleasant manner involving a can of gasoline.  The crime rate is low.  Costumes are particular to this village.  Women wear wool skirts and men are often seen in a wool tunic.  Western culture creeps in too.  The town is relatively prosperous and there were plenty of cars and trucks.
