Semana Santa (Easter week) is the most popular holiday in Latin America.
Each year villages large and small stop to celebrate and honor their
saints. Be sure to check with your tour agency, or here at the hotel
as transportation issues may arise during the holidays. As well, a
myriad of small local festivals happen year round in each of the villages,
check with our receptionists for specific dates.
Shopping
Each of the villages offers unique handmade arts, from textiles, to
pottery, to stylized paintings. Each artisan can offer a rich history
of his or her work…in turn each village retains both their own indigenous
language in addition to their traditional clothing. Visiting the villages
and offers many rich experiences for very personal cultural exchanges.
