Chichicastenango is the K’iche’ Maya highland town in Guatemala that travelers come to for one reason above all else: its legendary Thursday and Sunday market, the largest in Central America. But the town is more than a market town. Around the church of Santo Tomás, the steps fill with flower sellers, incense, and Catholic-Maya ritual life, while the nearby Capilla del Calvario and the surrounding plazas show how deeply Indigenous ceremony still shapes daily life. The best time to visit is Thursday or Sunday morning, especially in the dry season from November through April, when market activity is fullest and roads in the highlands are easier to manage.
