Todos Santos Cuchumatan
Minster
Todos Santos is a very closed indigenous community located high in the barren, rocky Cuchumatanes mountain range. The nearest city is Huehuetenango. The men and women still wear their traditional, brightly colored clothing and speak Mam, the local language that has not changed since before the arrival of the Spanish. They do not trust outsiders, but have learned to tolerate tourists. The people survive on subsistence farming, tourism and textiles: the men knit finely-made shoulder bags and the women make huipiles (a sort of colorful blouse). There only about 30,000 members of the community living in town and the surrounding areas.
Traveler Reviews of Todos Santos Cuchumatan
fascinating
100%Todos Santos is a fascinating place. A little hard to get to, but well worth it. One of the few places left in Guatemala where there is still some genuine culture left.
