Discover the vibrant culture of Chichicastenango on a guided day trip from Guatemala City. Explore the famous open-air market, visit Santo Tomás Church, and the sacred Maya altar of Pascual Abaj.
Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Guatemala City. Travel through Antigua Guatemala on your way to Chichicastenango, home to the most important artisan market in the western highlands and a living example of religious syncretism, where centuries-old Maya beliefs coexist with Catholic traditions.
Explore the famous open-air market, filled with handwoven textiles, wood carvings, pottery, and traditional crafts, with plenty of time reserved for shopping and photography.
Visit the traditional cofradías, known locally as morerías, sacred spaces where ceremonial masks and costumes are kept and maintained for traditional dances and religious festivals, offering a rare look into local customs rarely seen by outside visitors.
Discover Santo Tomás Church, a 400-year-old colonial church where Maya rituals are openly practiced on its front steps, one of the clearest examples of religious syncretism in Guatemala.
Hike up Turkaj Hill to visit Pascual Abaj, a sacred Maya altar still used today for traditional ceremonies and offerings, providing insight into ancestral Maya spirituality that continues to thrive in the region.
Enjoy time for lunch (not included) and additional shopping before beginning the scenic return journey to Guatemala City.
