Special Festival
Todos Santos Cuchumatanes has a special way of celebrating its annual festival, the feast of All Saints which is obviously on 1st Nov. This town, is over 2000 meters high in the Cuchumatanes range, near Huehuetenango, where you can get a bus to go up to Todos Santos. It is also within walking distance of a beautiful 3-day hike from Nebaj, Quiche. The town is strange in that all men have the same red and white trousers. And on November 1 is the time that you buy new trousers! Small hotels are booked up a few days before the party, but the people are very happy, in exchange for participation, 30Q per person in general, to share everything with you including their home, and their steam lodge, which is a type of sauna traditional type of the Mam.
