Chichicastenango

The popular Indian market Chichicastenango in Guatemala



The market at ChichicasChichicastenango is home to what is said to be the most beautiful native market in North and Central America, perhaps in all America, which takes place twice a week. This town has been, since pre-Hispanic times, one of the largest trading centers in the Maya area.tenango on Thursdays and Sundays appears lost in time, drawing villagers from miles around to sell their brightly woven textiles, masks and beautiful ceramics - a sight not to be missed.
