Guatemalan indigenous market tours are unique experiences and fantastic opportunities to immerse into a multi-color palette of fruits, spices, vegetables, wooden masks, carvings, jade, textiles, and costumes.

Most of these markets show up two times per week since ancient times; artisans, farmers, buyers, and shamans meet to sell, shop, and accomplish ceremonies on this special day.

Textiles are an important part of the Maya culture’s life and one of the most beautiful expressions of its traditions and culture; through them, its cosmovision and symbolism are represented.

Handicraft textiles are one of the primary sources of income for the Mayan people. They are also considered part of their colorful legacy, and you can be delighted to watch them in their everyday dress.
