The infamous narco cemetery on the outskirts of town with lavish mausoleums built for deceased cartel members. It is closed to the public, but it is often possible to walk in. Beware: there are reports of the cemetery security personnel stealing items such as phones and cameras and holding them for ransom. There are also reports of having no trouble at all and having a fine time touring the cemetery. Visit at your own risk.
Jardines del Humaya is a cemetery outside the city of Culiacán, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, established in 1969. The cemetery has gained notoriety for its mausoleums built for deceased cartel members that are unique and lavish in their style. They resemble real life houses and the associated opulence that these cartel members were used to prior to their deaths.
