Capilla Ecuménica La Paz, Ecumenical chapel on El Guitarrón hill, Acapulco, Mexico.

Capilla Ecuménica La Paz is a white chapel located on El Guitarrón hill, topped with a 42-meter cross that rises above Acapulco bay. The structure sits at approximately 402 meters above sea level and can be seen from many points across the city.

Milly Hauss de Trouyet chose the site above Las Brisas and died in 1969 before her chapel was realized. Her husband Carlos Trouyet commissioned the project from architect Gabriel Chávez de la Mora after their sons Jorge and Carlos Jr. died in a 1967 plane crash; Jorge Madrigal Solchaga and Santiago Greenham Ballescá supervised construction. The chapel opened to the public in 1971, and the family's remains lie in its lower-level tomb.

The chapel welcomes visitors and worshippers from any faith background, serving as a shared spiritual space where people of different religions gather for prayer and ceremonies. Inside, the simple design reflects this openness and inclusive purpose.

Visitors should plan their visits to finish before 6:00 PM, as there is no artificial lighting inside the chapel. This is especially important if you want to attend a ceremony or spend time in quiet reflection.

At the foot of the cross, sculptor Claudio Favier placed two right hands in prayer pointing to the sky, made in 1970 in memory of the brothers Jorge and Carlos Trouyet Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1967. The hands stand for the fraternal and spiritual bond between the two siblings.
