Bedste tid at besøge
Best in the morning between 8 and 11 a.m., when the most intense ceremonies take place and there is less tourist traffic than in the afternoon.
Budgettips
Entry is free, but a voluntary contribution or purchase of offerings (flowers, candles) from local vendors is expected. A shaman will charge 50 to 150 quetzals for a private ceremony for you, and haggling is common.

Om
Hurtige fakta: På dette hellige sted blandes maya-tro med katolsk tradition, og hvert år valfarter tusindvis af pilgrimme hertil fra hele Guatemala. Omkring stenguddommen har der i århundreder været udført ritualer med palmeblade, blomster, cigaretter og brændevin.
Højdepunkter: Lokale shamaner (chuchkajau) udfører her ceremonier mod et gebyr på omkring 50 quetzales, hvor de tænder lys i et antal, der svarer til maya-kalenderen. Røgen fra copal-harpiks blander sig med duften af nyklippede blomster, som pilgrimme lægger ved stenguddommens ansigt.
Insidertips
- Photography is allowed, but always ask the shaman leading the ceremony for permission first.
- Light your own candle or place a flower, locals perceive this as a sign of respect.
- Do not come here on Sunday afternoon, when the crowds are largest and the atmosphere loses its authenticity.
- Expect a steep climb from the Santo Tomás church, wear sturdy footwear.
