16-Century Church in Mexico Emerges from Bottom of Reservoir After Drought

People visit the Temple of Quechula church that emerged from the Malpaso Dam due to a drought that dried up the Grijalba River in Nuevo Quechula, Chiapas, on June 16, 2023. The 16th-century Dominican church has been uncovered by the drought and high temperatures that plague the country. The construction had been almost completely submerged when the dam was built in the area in the 1960s on a tributary of the Grijalva River. Since then, tourists have been arriving by boat to visit it. However, the low level of the dam due to high temperatures, which left eight people dead in Mexico in the last week, meant that the construction was completely exposed, and now visitors arrive at its gates in their cars and motorcycles.
