WHAT IS CHICHICASTENANGO MARKET?
Chichicastenango is a town in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, about 87 miles (140 km) northwest of Guatemala city. It sits at an altitude of about 1,965 m (6,447 ft) and has a population of around 72,000 people, about 99% of whom are indigenous K’iche’ Maya.
But every Thursday and Saturday, this number swells dramatically as people from all over the region flock to Chichicastenango. This is the twice-weekly market day when thousands of locals and visitors come to buy and sell at what is thought to be the largest, most colourful, and most famous outdoor market in Central America.
The streets of the town explode into a riot of colour and life, with people jostling for space, traders calling out what they have to sell, animals barking and bleating, and the smoke of cooking fires and incense burners thickening the air. It’s definitely somewhere you should add to your Guatemala itinerary.
Everything is available here, from huge piles of plump fruit and vegetables to gorgeous hand-woven textiles in every colour of the rainbow, to hand-crafted souvenirs like wooden toys or beaded jewellery, to fine leather products, to tools, books, toys, ceramics and even live animals (but I don’t recommend buying one of those; you’ll never get it home on the plane).
