We went for the gardens, the relics museum, and the architecture however I was impressed with the candle store near the saint's shrine. A cute little wooden shop next to the chapel sells hundreds of different types of candles for the faithful. The woman working there is incredibly friendly and can explain what the candle types and colors represent. This... More

Its worth stepping inside to see the church. In the main church there are no official guides. You may take photos, but please be respectful. There are ruins of an ancient church next door / attached for an entry fee. Usually there is a guide, expect to pay a tip or a fee for the service. Its worth seeing once,... More

Tip: visit the museum. Check my review and pics. Chuch: beautiful facade. The interior is not so impressive, it looks very recent. During the semana santa it has lots of amazing colorful sand works.

This church is quite large, with a high-walled courtyard area where you can see pigeons resting or flying around.

The land is huge and there is a lot to see as you walk around. My boyfriend and I stumbled on this and spent about and hour and... More

Loved the history and walking through the ruins. You can get great pictures of the ruins and also from the volcano. There is a local market right next to this where you can get nice souvenirs for a cheap price.

So interesting to see San Pedro's clothing from Centuries ago. Just walking around a absorbing all that history. And trying to image the beauty that used to be.
