Sensory overload! There is SO MUCH Central American color here in the marketplace of Chichicastenango that my head may explode! So much fun! Even the name of the market is a colorful delight. Try saying it – Chi-chi-cas-ten-ANG-go! It is musical!
Here are booth after booth of brilliant goods from Guatemala and all its neighboring regions – tables piled high with rainbow hued serapes, racks of festival masks, Alejibres from Oaxaca, Molas from San Blas Island, Dia de Los Muertes skulls, playful souvenir Chicken Busses, fresh cut flowers, fruits, Guatemalan dolls, woven goods of every possible color and kind. It's a visual artist's field of dreams!
