Chichi, as this town is affectionately called, turns into a chaotic mass of stalls, goods and people two times per week. The main square disappears and if you climb onto the stairs of the church, all you will see are the endless tarp or tin roofs of all the stalls. We were warned that this market, famed as being one of the largest in Central America, is very much a tourist affair. However, depending on what you want from such an experience, you do not have to leave disappointed.
