The Panajachel Marketplace

Kirsten Noelle Hubbard
Although Calle Santander in Panajachel is lined with shops selling everything from beaded jewelry to fresh Guatemalan coffee, the nucleus for shopping is the Artisan Market, located on the east side of the street. You’ll be taken aback by the sheer amount of merchandise for sale: hammocks in every color, authentic framed artwork, peasant dresses, sombreros, purses in bright Mayan dyes.

The Panajachel market is a great place to practice your bargaining power!
