Trips to Chichicastenango
Where the Maya tradition comes to life in a market full of colors and mysticism
We have been there
Our specialists have been at the destination to design a trip tailored to you.
Chichicastenango is a market of colors and traditions, heir to the Mayan culture.
A cup of coffee for anyone who can say Chichicastenango in one go! In this city of the Quiché province, you can visit the Chichicastenango market, famous for the authenticity of its indigenous vendors who every Thursday and Sunday offer their crafts, souvenirs, and local foods. The steps of the Church of Santo Tomás are filled with vibrant colors thanks to the flowers sold by women, while a shaman purifies the area by burning incense.
"Here was found the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya that tells the origin of humanity"
One of the most authentic things you can do when visiting the Chichicastenango market is to try some of the many traditional Guatemalan dishes right at the market. Hint: the Quichés, the local inhabitants, love chicken in all its forms. And after shopping and eating, a city tour to verify that despite the number of visitors, it still maintains its traditions and customs, like the very colorful painted tombs in its cemetery. Are you up for a stroll through the most authentic market in Guatemala?

Protecting Indigenous Girls from Violence in Guatemala
Our commitment goes beyond designing trips. At PANGEA, we collaborate with Entreculturas on projects that protect indigenous girls in rural areas of Guatemala from sexual violence, early unions, and child pregnancies. These initiatives expose discrimination, promote safe school environments where they can speak, learn, and heal, and provide psychosocial support to strengthen their self-esteem, knowledge of their rights, and decision-making power. Because traveling also means making a positive impact on the world.
