Chichicastenango, Guatemala



Chichicastenango or 'chichi' for short is a beautiful magical town with amazing Thursday and Sunday indigenous markets. Mayan traders from surrounding villages descend to sell colourful handicrafts including carved-wood masks, embroidered cloth and jewellery, as well as food, spices and goods for locals. Despite hordes of tourists it manages to retain a mystical air.
