Shamanic Rituals

Magic, color and mysticism have made the rituals and ceremonies of the Mayan religion one of the leading interests for a lot of investigators and tourists.

Shamanic Rituals are a part of a fascinating world that mixes the modern Catholicism and ancient local customs which are present every Thursday and Sunday in the different markets where indigenous communities meet to sell their products.

Martsam Travel has explored these markets and invites you to discover this fantastic world of mysticism through the heart of the Mayan world, where during their long history the Mayas have practiced these rituals for curative intentions, requests to their gods and to celebrate especial dates.

Many of the ceremonies are celebrated in nearby towns to Antigua Guatemala, Lake Atitlan and Chichicastenango. With a lot of respect towards the customs and traditions, the Shamans have opened up an opportunity to witness and in some special cases to take part in these magical rituals.
