Putting to the test everything learned during our interactive weaving and natural dyes workshop! Nothing tops learning from the hands of women weavers who share their traditions and cultural legacy with genuine love, passion, and pride!

One of Guatemala’s most well-known exports is traditional textiles, woven by Maya women, many who learn the craft from a very young age. As far as textiles go, the town of San Antonio Aguascalientes (translated as San Antonio Hot Springs, or “Hot Waters” if you prefer the more literal translation) has the best reputation for quality textiles.

The town of San Antonio – referred to locally as just “Aguas calientes” – is actually very close to Antigua, about a 15-minute bus ride away.
