Chichicastenango

In the town of Chichicastenango, located in the department of Quiché, people are still very attached to their Mayan heritage.

Although Chichicastenango is small in size, it bustles with life and activity on market days when venders and buyers from all over the Highland meet in the town center.

A main attraction is the colonial church of Santo Tomás built over 450 years ago.
