Guatemalan
folklore is possibly the most interesting and varied
in the world. One of the best expressions of this can
be seen in local textiles, which incorporate more than
325 variations of styles and color schemes -- each one
with its own historically symbolic meaning. Markets
dot the countryside and offer a fascinating insight
into the Maya Culture, not to mention providing the
traveler with an excellent source of economical gifts.
The markets are full of traditional crafts and an abundance
of produce and livestock which supply the everyday needs
of the local population. |
