Magical, Religious, and Historical Tour of Chichicastenango.

The tour lasts 2 hours

Available in English and Spanish

Description

Discover **Chichicastenango**, one of the most fascinating and spiritual places in Guatemala, where the **Maya K’iche’ worldview and Christian tradition** coexist in an extraordinary religious syncretism. More than just a market, Chichicastenango is a living town, full of ceremonies, colors, incense, history, and ancestral traditions.

Accompanied by a **Maya K’iche’ guide**, we will explore its famous **traditional market**, among textiles, flowers, crafts, and local products. We will visit the **Church of Santo Tomás**, where the steps are the scene of offerings and ceremonies; we will learn about a **Maya Brotherhood**, guardians of images, rituals, and community festivities, and we will enter the world of **La Morería**, with its masks, costumes, and traditional dances.

We will continue to the colorful **Chichicastenango cemetery**, where we will discover the relationship between life, death, and ancestors. We will conclude at **Pascual Abaj**, an ancient Maya ceremonial site where offerings and spiritual rituals are still performed.

An authentic experience amidst the aroma of copal, candles, the K’iche’ language, and an ancestral culture that remains alive.

Guide: Nelson, Nayely y Carolina.
