6 Best Places to Shop in Chichicastenango, The Highlands

Background Illustration for Shopping

Although the market is paramount, Chichicastenango has a decent selection of fixed shops selling high-quality souvenirs and artisan work. Many are on 6 Calle, the street you're likely to walk between your tour van and the market and back. Here's the kicker: Most of them open only on Thursday and Sunday market days.

Casa de Máscaras Santo Tomás

You'll find the best selection of traditional handmade masks at Casa de Máscaras Santo Tomás just down the street from the Santo Tomás church. These folks stay open every day of the week.
