Jardines del Humaya is the most luxurious cemetery in the world and is just outside the city of Culiacán, in the state of Sinaloa, and was established in 1969. This eternal resting place has gained worldwide popularity for its tombs and mausoleums built for alleged drug traffickers killed in clashes against rival groups or the authorities. Most of these royal tombs resemble real-life homes and the associated opulence to which these bandits were accustomed before their deaths.
The Jardines del Humaya has constructions of two and even three floors, with a terrace, light, and refrigerated air. Some have bedrooms, a television, a basement, a living room, a kitchenette, video surveillance cameras, and even an internet connection. Some tombs have armored glass and look like real medieval tombs with modern finishes, and in them rests the remains of several drug traffickers who spread panic in various regions of Mexico.
Which famous narcos rest in the Jardines del Humaya in Culiacán?
According to Wikipedia and local media, the Sinaloa Cartel has the most luxurious mausoleum since it is worth 1,200,000,000 dollars. This construction houses the remains of Arturo Guzmán Loera, alias “El Pollo,” Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s brother. This luxurious tomb has five buildings, each destined for a member of the Guzmán Loera family, in addition to having air conditioning, bathrooms with luxury finishes, 24-hour surveillance, and multiple rooms—a true narco mansion.
The second most luxurious mausoleum or tomb in the world is that of Arturo Beltrán Leyva, alias “El Barbas,” who was killed in 2009 in Morelos during a confrontation with members of the Navy. The property is worth 650,000 dollars and has wifi, satellite TV, several rooms, and a kitchen. There are other tombs of not-so-famous narcos in the place, but the names and exact locations are kept secret for the safety of family members and cemetery workers.
