9 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Western Highlands That You Shouldn't Miss

February 16, 2022 Agatha Simes

Guatemala’s spectacular Western Highlands run from Antigua to the Mexican border. Pines blanket misty hillsides, rivers cascade through sliver-thin ravines, volcanoes rumble overhead. Catch market day or witness offerings to drinking, smoking St. Maximon, in Chichicastenango. See traditional life in the Ixil Triangle. Clamber the Cuchumatanes Mountains. Mayan dialects and ceremonies are still part of everyday life for the majority of Guatemala’s indigenous population, living where their ancestors trod.

Centro Cultural Santa Catarina

Reviewed By Bar67_10

Hidden in Santa Catarina, this center run by a local women cooperative, offers a unique experience not found anywhere else! To get dressed up in traditional Mayan clothes! Don’t miss this opportunity. A must. The center also has a small shop with local crafts, explanations of the different crafts and clothes that define each village, and a coffee house. Enjoy the experience !!!! We definitely did!!!

Beautiful square surrounded by some fantastic architecture and stunning mountain view. Always something going in, especially lively on Sundays! Parades, street food, people watching, all in all a wonderful spot to hang out.
