Zunil

Zunil is a town 10 kilometers from Xela, a Quetzaltenando city in the Department of the same name. It is located where several roads cross, and thismakes it easy for local people to sell their crops here. In this region, with its cold weather and high altitudes, they cultivate carrot, bean, corn... To reach Zunil there is a chicken bus which leaves from Xela, taking twenty minutes. The village has remarkable architecture, but the market remains very traditional, costumes of all colors make it very interesting. The landscape of the hills Zunil surrounding are also very nice. The church is also nice, but the local saint, San Simon, does not reside there.
