What people say

"EN: Few companies offer transport outside market days. So you have 2 options, either you take a shuttle on Thursday or Sunday morning which takes you directly to Chichicastenango, you stay there for 4 hours and then you go to Panajachel the same day. This costs around $50. Option 2, off the beaten track, On Wednesday or Saturday, the day before the market, you go to Chichicastengo by Uber, for around $40. This gives you time to see the town, its church, and its cemetery without too many people. This option is certainly more complicated, but you get a completely different experience. Public buses to go back to the lac are a great way to get a complete change of scenery, and the journey is not too long. You can stay at the Hotel Museo Mayan Inn, or the Hotel Chalet, Chichicastenango. FR : Peu de compagnies proposent des transports en dehors des jours de marché. Vous avez donc deux possibilités : soit vous prenez une navette le jeudi ou le dimanche matin qui vous emmène directement à Chichicastenango, vous y restez 4 heures et vous vous rendez à Panajachel le même jour. Cela coûte environ 50 dollars. Option 2, hors des sentiers battus, Le mercredi ou le samedi, la veille du marché, vous pouvez vous rendre à Chichicastengo en Uber, pour environ 40 $. Cela vous laisse le temps de voir la ville, son église et son cimetière sans trop de monde. Cette option est certes plus compliquée, mais elle permet de vivre une expérience totalement différente. Pour le retour au lac, les bus publics sont un excellent moyen de se dépayser complètement, et le trajet n'est pas trop long. Vous pouvez séjourner à l'hôtel Museo Mayan Inn, ou à l'hôtel Chalet, Chichicastenango. "
"This is one of the best markets in Guatemala! It's a bit of a ways away, so while you can do it in a day trip, many people do it on their way to or from Antigua. Be ready to shop!"
