Excellent, amazing, beautiful place - The lake is beautiful, warm and with an incredible view.
Chichicastenango is a sociological experience.
Mayan culture unites with Christianity in the same place (church, old Mayan temple) the cemetery is totally colorful

Chichicastenango Market private tour - My guide Eloida was absolutely fantastic. Spent a wonderful day at the Chichicastenango marketplace. Unfortunately rain stopped our visit to Ixichme, but it was still definitely worth the trip.
