DAY 8. THURSDAY, DEC 9. CHICHICASTENANGO
Market day in Chichicastenango! Chichicastenango is home to what is surely the most colorful native market
in North and Central America, perhaps in all the Americas. Market days are Sundays and Thursdays, and
draw not only the K'iche' Maya of the surrounding region, but vendors from all over Guatemala, representing
many of Guatemala's linguistic groups such as Mam, Ixil, Kaqchikel and others, each hawking his or her
products in a riotous cacophony of color, dialects and costumes, smoke, and smells. This town in the
mountains of El Quiche has been, since pre-Hispanic times, one of the largest trading centers in the Maya area.
In the afternoon we depart Chichi for Lake Atitlan.
Overnight — Posada Don Rodrigo Panajachel Hotel in Lake Atitlan. (B D)
