Family Overview: Chichicastenango, Guatemala
Every Thursday and Sunday for more than 100 years, Chichicastenango, dubbed "Chichi" for short, blooms with nearly 300 Maya vendors from all parts of the country. Twisting mountain roads lead to Chichi through hamlets where fat pigs and feathery turkeys stand in the front yards of tin-roofed homes. Arrive by Wednesday night to roam the streets, observing the men hammering away at the maze of wooden stalls for tomorrow's market. The aromas of grilled chicken, fried potatoes, and sweet plantains permeate the air, punctuated by the quick slapping sound of women flattening tortillas between their palms.
