Capilla de Guadalupe is a small, rural Catholic chapel located near the community of Chemuyil in the state of Quintana Roo. The structure is characterized by its modest, open-air design reflecting regional Yucatecan religious architecture. It serves as a local spiritual hub for the surrounding residential and agricultural periphery of the Riviera Maya. The chapel is constructed from materials common to the area and maintains a simple aesthetic consistent with village-level places of worship. It is situated along the main corridor of Route 101, positioned away from the dense tourism hubs of the coastal strip.
