Friday is Market Day: San Francisco El Alto, Guatemala

[propio2011]

Wow I`m glad that I search for this Video, My respect to you who uploaded this video

I remember when I was a little kid I used to go there with my MOM, I`m from Santa Eulalia Huehuetenango located north of Guatemala, on that time it used to be long drive,

from Santa Eulalia to Huehuetenango it takes 8Hrs to get there, plus 6Hrs to get to San Francisco.I love going there, now that I`m 33yrs old I look at this video it just makes me remember that time it`s something that I wont forget never!!!

Wow! This was totally great! I was born and raised there before I came to the U.S. at 11 years of age. I remember those fridays when it got so busy we couldn't play soccer with the kids anymore.

@Chvasquez86 Glad you liked it. San Francisco el Alto was cool and the market was a lot of fun. I cannot imagine growing up with that -- how cool. Great to hear from you and read your comment. Saludos!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. San Francisco el Alto, my roots come from this beautiful town hidden underneath the mountains. Wow! watching those images make me feel just as if I was yesterday even thought I've only been there twice and that was probably more than 25 years ago) Dispite the small town there is plenty of culture to exploit there!!

[umarket]

@guatico97 You are welcome. Glad you liked it. Amazing that your family comes from there.

If you are interested, we have a couple dozen stories and photo essays from our time in Guatemala, on our website Uncornered Market.

The friday market in SF el alto is happily insane. It is the best I have seen, and I have lived in Guatemala in the Peace Corps, and was last at the market when I visited Guatemala in 2008. The animal area is a scream. You have to be very careful of pick pockets in the congestion.
