PMR048K-14 Guatemala: Chichicastenango, a Maya town in the mountains, occupied by the Kaqchikel since pre-Columbian days, attracts large numbers of tourists on its two market days. Catholicism and paganism co-exist happily and even overlap. Here, a Maya shrine at Pascual Abaj, about one kilometre from the market, during the performing of rites. The shaman ("chujkajau") is wearing a red head-covering.
