"Chichi - Huge marked and Indian ceremonies" Chichicastenango by metteks

This picture of the view of Chichi is taken from the cemetary.

The marked

I arrived to Chichi the day before the marked, as I wanted to see the town without all the tourists arriving in big busses on marked day. This turned out to be a good idea, and the marked was even open that day too.

I bought all the things at the marked this day, and I am sure I got better prices as we had enough time to haggle and talk during the proces. The next day the marked was so busy as all the tourists arrived, and I am not sure it would hae been such a delight to buy things from the busy vendors.

On the marked day I just wached all the one day tourist frantic trying to buy all the things they needed to take home from their holiday.

The cemetary

The cemetary is located on the outscirts of town. It is very colourfull, and from here you have great views of Chichi (see picture 1)
