There is no Spanish usage here. The language of the villagers is Tzeltal. When the men of the village go on a short quest with a shaman into the Lacandon Jungle, you can hear Lacandon/Yucatec in greetings and interactions with local indigenous people.
There were brief shots of Palenque too, as if they were near there while being deep in jungle.
The actor playing the shaman has a classic Maya face. It is the sort that is on many ancient stelae. I fully expected to find that he had done other roles, but did not succeed in finding any such evidence. I found it annoying that the credits listed none of the Lacandons who were in the film.
