On my visit to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I ventured up the 100m to the top of the hill to see the oldest structure in this very large complex. To my pleasure, the old chapel didn't disappoint! The Capilla del Cerrito (Hill Chapel) is on the spot where Juan Diego had his vision of the Virgin Mary in 1531. Inside, I was treated to these wonderfully carved wood and guilt statues of the saints. In a small niche in the chapel, St. Jose, St. Joaquin, and Sta. Ana watch over their flock.
