Its 35 miles of protected beaches are important nesting sites for endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles. The salt water lakes of Ria Lagartos are distinctively pink in colour.

It is most famous for the town s fascinating mix of pre-hispanic and Catholic beliefs and there are no pews or alter inside the church. Instead, worshippers kneel on the floor, chanting and lighting candles. Rituals often include drinking ceremonial cups of Coca Cola, Pepsi or Posh, an alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane - and prayers are chanted in an archaic Tzotzil dialect. Many of the rituals practised involve a Curanderos (medicine man) who diagnoses medical and psychological afflictions and prescribes remedies such as certain coloured candles and specific petals and feathers. The main landmark of the town is the Church of San Jan which is filled with colourful candles and statues of saints in wooden boxes many of whom wear mirrors to deflect evil. Zinacantán is a Nahuatl name that dates back to the times of the Conquista, and translates to mean 'land of bats'.
