Chichicastenango Hotels - Reviews and Rates

So to begin building my bargaining skills I went to the Sunday markey in Chichcastenango, where I had no idea what anything was worth, and quickly got the sense that I was out of my league. That said, I didn´t get had completely--it´s just that I bought a couple of things that I wasn´t sure I even wanted to get rid of sellers who kept following ...

Hola mis amigos, Well, the last couple of days have been an adventure. I spent most of Saturday wandering around Antigua and crashed early. Yesterday I went to the largest market in Latin America which is held every Sunday in Chichicastenango. Try saying that fast three times! It was a 3 hour bus ride there and the market was packed when we arri...

..After geting soaked in a downpour in Antigua we all clambered into our privtae shutle bus.a great thing about being a group our size.we fill one bus ourselves and now we start our climb thru the mountains to Chichi as is is commonly reffered to to see what is deemed to be the biggest markets in Central America. We arrive late in the afternoon ...

Sunday, February 17,2008 Today I went to Chichicastenango with Brandy and a guy named Kent that we met at our hotel . Chichi is about a two hour drive by chicken bus to the highlands above Lake Atitlan. The chicken buses are from the same companies the make the school buses in the United States, however, that is where the similarities end. These...

Well, A lot has been happening since i last wrote. It has officially been one month since i've started working at Lake Atitlan. The other week a friend and i went to Chichicastenango, to see the famous indigenous market. The Western Highlands of Guatemala are famous for their colorful indigenous markets where each different place usually special...

Surtout les trucs mayas que les gens font autour... Enfin... Apres tant dagitation, g decide de retourner sur le lac pour un peu de quietude... Et j...

I left San Pedro early in the morning to catch the Sunday market at Chichicastenango (ChiChi for short, because that long thing takes too long to say after mispronouncing it the first two times). I came via tourist shuttle with a small group. The trip was kind of beautiful, through winding roads up and down the mountian valleys, with views of tr...

Starting our journey at 7am, we made a long haul from Monterrico (boat, chicken bus, chicken bus, wrong local bus, correct local bus, chicken bus) to Chichicastenango that afternoon. We went via the capital Guatemala City, and changing buses was enough time spent there for us. Expecting Chichi to be crowded in preparation for the famous Sunday m...

Fuentes Georgina This is a small luscious hot springs a little ways from the school nestled up against the vertical rocks of one of the inactive volcanoes with flowers and plants flowing down the sides of the watery rock. It is a natural and inviting setting with a small cafe to one side. For all its greenery and naturalness of the setting, it a...

I´d heard a lot about the markets of chichicastenango, which are meant to be the biggest and best in Guatemala, if not all of central america. So I jumped on a very early bus from San Pedro along with Ayme and Emico. We spent a few hours getting lost amongst the markets, it was huge and disorientating. the main things on sale seemed to be touris...
