Los huipiles, son los tejidos que detentan en blusas, las desciendientes mayas que viven en Guatemala. En Chichicastenango, durante los días de mercado, es cuando más se pueden observar tanto en visitantes locales como en los puestos de esta feria. Los huipiles guatemaltecos representan la cosmovisión maya que se llena de colores y figuras geométricas. Cada uno de estos trabajos toma alrededor de 7 meses en estar terminado y sus valores, aunque altos, valen la pena. No es moda: es una obra de arte.
The huipiles, are the tissues that hold blouses, desciendientes Maya living in Guatemala. In Chichicastenango, during the days of the market, when more can be observed both visitors and local posts of this fair. Guatemalan huipiles represent the Mayan worldview that is filled with colors and geometric shapes. Each of these works takes about 7 months to be completed and, although high values, they are worth. It's not fashionable: it is a work of art.
