HUMAYA As we said yesterday: HUMAYA ea a contraction of Nahuatl origin that means 'place of rubber trees on the banks of the water'. That time I will not include all the etimológjco detail that the dictionary had the discourtesy to suppress, but it can be found in a Nahuatl dictionary or in Mexican pages. It has relevance today because the Humaya Garden is a cemetery that was inaugurated in Culiacán in 1869 and where the family of "chapo" Guzmán Loera have a mausoleum, with church and bathroom among other amenities, which is worth US $ 1, 5 million and where Brother Arturo alias "the chicken" is buried.
