Guatemala, a land of rich cultural diversity and deep-
rooted traditions, is distinguished by the multiplicity of
regional costumes that adorn its different departments.
Every corner of the country carries with it a unique
identity, vividly reflected in traditional clothing that has
endured through generations. From the colorful and
elaborate clothing of the inhabitants of Sololá, to the
typical costumes of the communities of
Chichicastenango, each department is dressed with
pride and distinction.
