Panajachel is a great place to start a journey to the stunningly beautiful and culturally vibrant Chichicastenango.
Located only a short drive away through the breathtaking natural landscapes of the western highlands of Guatemala, Chichicastenango is home to the famous Santo Tomas Church, an iconic colonial structure with bright white walls and stairs at its base where many devotees burn incense, bring flowers, and show their gratitude.
Upon arriving in Chichicastenango, you will be amazed by the number of colors, textiles, street traditional food, and all kinds of sales in the market. We will visit the indoor and outdoor market, make stops to buy if you wish, and learn about the great history of this market, its people, its traditions, and its religion. Afterward, we will visit the Santo Tomas Church, and at the end of the day, we will go to the Pascual Abaj Hill, where if we are lucky, we´ll see a traditional Mayan ceremony.
Not wheelchair accessible. Near public transportation. Most travelers can participate. Bring cash if you wish to buy souvenirs at the market. This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate. Confirmation will be received at time of booking
