Lake Atitlan Market Tour

The bustling traditional indoor/outdoor markets of Lake Atitlan are as diverse as the villages they are located in.

On market days stalls fill the maze-like markets and spill out into the streets providing a feast for your senses where local farmers, artisans, and vendors sell everything from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and meat, to hand-woven textiles, handbags, candles, baskets, jewelry, ceramics, hammocks, paintings, and Mayan carvings.

Just like no two villages are alike, no two markets are alike.  Not only are the markets a great place to partake in the local culture they are also a great place to try the authentic local food (comida típica).

Sample the local food such as chuchitos, chile Relleno, beet salad enchiladas, and the traditional drink Arroz con Leche, or try fresh fruit such as sliced mangos that are served with nuts, chile, and lime.
