Best time to visit
Posjetite kasno ujutro, kada su prodavnice otvorene, ali prije podnevne vrućine i dolaska velikih turističkih grupa. Subote i nedjelje su posebno živahne sa pijacama i više lokalnih prodavača.
Budget tips
Ulaz je besplatan, a cjenkanje se očekuje na većini tezgi. Uporedite cijene na najmanje tri tezge prije kupovine, jer cijene mogu varirati za 50 posto ili više za identične stvari.

About
Quick facts: The street is the main thoroughfare in Panajachel and the central route for travelers between the town and Lake Atitlán. Along the few hundred meters you will find over 50 shops selling Maya-woven textiles, jewelry and handicrafts to both locals and tourists.
Highlights: Here you can see Maya women in traditional huipiles weaving and selling their textiles directly from stalls, where the same designs have been passed down through generations. After sunset the street transforms when street vendors and musicians fill the sidewalks, and the light from the stalls casts warm glows over the handicrafts.
Insider tips
- Ponesite gotovinu, jer mnoge tezge ne prihvataju kartice, a najbliži bankomat se nalazi na glavnom trgu.
- Potražite oznaku kvaliteta na tkanim tekstilima, jer neke tezge prodaju mašinski izrađene kopije po istoj cijeni kao i ručno tkane.
- Idite do samog kraja ulice prema jezeru za najbolju priliku za fotografisanje sa vulkanom Atitlán u pozadini.
- Posjetite rano ujutro ako želite vidjeti zanatlije kako rade i dobiti najbolje cijene prije dolaska turističkih grupa.
