The Quechula Temple had been submerged below the surface about 50 years ago when the Nezahualcóyotl Dam, also known as the Malpaso Dam, was built. As if by magic created by nature, the ruins of a large 16th century church have emerged from the Grijalva River. When the water level at the Malpaso Dam drops, local fishermen become guides, taking curious people out on their boats to see the remains of the temple.
Mezcalapa is a new municipality in the state of Chiapas, bordering the state of Tabasco to the north and the state of Oaxaca to the west. Most of the urban areas (with more than 2,500 inhabitants) are located in the vicinity of the highway that runs from Francisco León to San Fernando. The Nezahualcóyotl dam is located within the municipality and on the basins of the Achecnoc, Totopac and Zacalapa rivers.
In Mezcalapa the most important celebration is the celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which will be commemorated on December 12, hundreds of pilgrims attend the Church of Guadalupe in Raudales Malpaso.
