Description
Quiché is a department located in the western highlands of Guatemala. It is known for its diverse indigenous cultures, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes. The capital city of the department is Santa Cruz del Quiché, which serves as a cultural and administrative center for the region.
The area is predominantly inhabited by the K'iche' Maya people, who maintain their traditional customs, languages, and practices. Quiché is famous for its archaeological sites, including the ancient city of Iximché, which was once the capital of the K'iche' Kingdom and played a significant role during the time of the Spanish conquest.
Quiché is also recognized for its coffee production, as the highland regions provide an ideal climate and altitude for growing high-quality coffee beans. Tourists visiting Quiché can explore the vibrant markets, participate in local ceremonies, and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding mountains and lakes.
