El Santuario de Chimayo

"Nestled in the village of Chimayo along the High Road to Taos, this tilting, toy-like adobe structure feels like it belongs in a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel, especially the prayer room adjacent to the sanctuary, where in the center of the dirt floor is a round hole where pilgrims collect holy dirt that has been known to heal" Full review

"Every year, over 300,000 Catholics make the pilgrimage to El Santuario de Chimayo, a religious shrine and National Historic Landmark, to ask for healing."

"Often called the Lourdes of America, the chapel was built in 1816, over a spot of earth said to have miraculous healing properties" Full review
