TACTIC
Back on Highway CA-14 northbound, the next town over is Tactic, 32 kilometers south
of Cobán. The turnoff into town is at Km. 183. The town's best-known attraction is the
so-called Pozo Vivo (Living Well), named as such because its muddy waters supposedly
bubble up when there are people nearby. It has unfortunately become very polluted, as it's
a popular destination for locals, who aren't always environmentally conscious. It also may
be dry depending on the time of year. It's just off the highway directly opposite Gasolinera
Tactic, at Km. 184, should you want to take a gander.

a high hill reached by a steep staircase. The main attraction for pilgrims here is a visit to
the black saint of Chi-ixim, also known as El Dios del Maíz (Maize God), to give thanks
for ascribed miracles.
