The town is full of women-run cooperatives where you can witness traditional backstrap weaving, natural dyeing with local plants, and chocolate-making from raw cacao. Herbal medicine gardens and stingless bee farms offer a look into ancient healing practices, while every shop sells goods handmade by local artisans; each with a story and purpose behind it.

Colorful murals decorate nearly every wall, telling stories of Mayan history, spirituality, and everyday life.
