Guatemala Chichicastenango in 1955

An old 8mm film. In bad storage condions it became wobbly, yet still presentable. Wikipedia says of this town: Chichicastenango, also known as Santo Tomás Chichicastenango, is a town in the El Quiché department of Guatemala, known for its traditional K’iche’ Maya culture. The Spanish conquistadors gave the town its name from the Nahuatl name used by their soldiers from Tlaxcala: Tzitzicaztenanco, or City of Nettles.
