Additional Information

On this journey, we aim to introduce you to the Guatemalan culture from a unique perspective. You’ll have the opportunity to intimately experience this historic culture through the Mayan locals residing in the area. Their worldview and perspective on life are distinct. Moreover, they express their beliefs and thoughts through their customary garments. We’re excited to explain the significance behind each hue, each pattern, and have you be astonished by these textile masterpieces, which can often require up to half a year of dedicated labor to complete just one item.

You’ll be immersed in a vibrant tapestry of hues and motifs. For centuries, Mayan fabrics have been crafted using time-honored techniques. Today, it’s truly remarkable to witness the evolution in their vibrancy and patterns, as they transform into genuine works of art.
