Chichicastenango

Chichicastenango is known for having the world’s most colourful market.

image

The person who gave it that award was not looking at the market from above.

image

The fruit and vegetables were very colourful.

image

The corn wasn’t that colourful.

image

But it did have more colours than ours.

image

Their cemetery is also colourful

image

The tombs are painted lots of pretty colours.

image

Much better than our boring grey on green grass.

image

Some had rebar sticking up so that they could add extra storeys.

image

Some of them were very tall.

image

There were some boring grey crosses

image

I don’t know why you would do that when you could paint them pretty colours.

image

I guess you can’t paint your own cross

image

You should get someone to do that for you.
