Santuario de Chimayo

Santuario de Chimayo
Very interesting place indeed. It has a peaceful yet majestic feel with beautiful desert valley views.
 El Santuario de Chimayo, the tiny shrine that is built on the site of what many believe to be a miracle associated with the crucifix of "Nuestro Señor de Esquipulas" 
Many visitors to the church take a small amount of the "holy dirt", often in hopes of a miraculous cure for themselves or someone who could not make the trip. Formerly, at least, they often ate the dirt.[6] (Likewise pilgrims to the original shrine of Esquipulas eat the supposedly curative clay found there.)[8] Now seekers of cures more commonly rub themselves with the dirt or simply keep it. The Church replaces the dirt in the pocito from the nearby hillsides,[12] sometimes more than once a day, for a total of about 25 or 30 tons a year.

Sacred place
A sacred place to many Sanctuario de Chimayo NM is known for its "healing dirt."
Beautiful religious & historical place. It's poorly signposted but plenty of parking once you find it. Nothing much in the way of places to eat it drink though.
