If you’ve never been in a Mayan marketplace it is hard to understand what it’s like through words or even through pictures. Without taking a trip to one yourself the best way to experience it is probably through video. Thanks to the “A Mayan’s Guide to Guatemala” you can.
The mini-series “A Mayan’s Guide to Guatemala” is posted on www.howstuffworks.com and takes you inside Guatemala. One of the videos is of the Mountain Markets, where many of 
the Mayans who grow crops or make crafts sell their goods. Other videos take you inside Mayan craft-making, and another focus’ on children’s roles in Mayan culture.
These videos are a good way to take a brief look (they are all a minute long) at the Mayan culture in Guatemala.
