Almolonga

In this charming village just outside of Quetzaltenango you'll find women wearing bright orange huipils and beautiful headbands. At the busy Wednesday and Saturday markets you can buy fruits cultivated at the numerous orchards in the area. A few kilometers beyond the town are several hot springs, where you can relax for a few quetzals.
