    Definately worth checking out San Francisco church, complete with Bone ossary! If I remember rightly the church features a painting of the Last Supper complete with Christ and the Disciples tucking into Cuy (Guinea Pig) - I don't remember that being mentioned in the St James' version of the Bible I read at school. There are English language guides to the Church, which are worth going on as the place has an incredible history.

  • From the 17th century(1674), this is a really nice old church. The catacombs contain skulls and leg bones of about 75,000 people, some of them monks that used to live here. It's really pretty bizarre. They often have been stacked in eerie geometric patterns. Open: Mon - Sunday 9:30am - 5:30pm

    Stacks of human bones and dark, narrow passageways make this creepy trip to the San Francisco Catacombs a must-do. There's a spanish language tour for the convent, but if you don't speak spanish anyway, it's fun and much creepier to wander here by yourself. Just don't forget to look out for the large round six foot high round thing in one room -- climb up and take a closer look at the circle of skulls!

    Under the Convent and Church of San Francisco there are catacombs you may look for 5 soles.

    The tours of the San Francisco Church include the catocombs below, full of some 70,000 skeletal remains. Not for the squeamish.
