| Guatemala
is a country that is beautiful, colorful, and full of spiritual
traditions, from the Mayan Indians as well as the Spanish Colonial
Christian heritage. There is a wealth of arts and crafts to be found
in every village and town, where the natives all have their own
unique style that differentiates them from one another. Each village
has its own special “costume” or dress, and thus it is easy to tell
where a person lives by his or her hand-woven attire. This country
is famous for its textiles and weavings, however there is also a
wealth of painting and sculpture. The Guatemalan people are extremely
talented, ambitious, and have a great work ethic, ambition, and
fortitude. |
