You will love Comalapa because is a peaceful and beautiful Maya-Kaqchikel village with a lot to explore, just 1 1/2 hour away from Antigua Guatemala. Here you will discover the 36 years Civil War history depicted in the paintings on the Cemetery's wall. Also did you know this people is considered as pioneer of Naïve Art in Guatemala since 1930's? The main experience here will be to paint your own artwork with the orientation of an artist I personally admire as Paula Nicho or Oscar Perén. Next, we'll visit the house of a weaving woman while she demonstrates usage of the pedal loom weaving, you'll have fun trying to do as she does. Tasting Comalapa's produce is also part of the adventure since this is where the country's best big strawberries grow due to mild climate and fertile soil, they're delicious! It's also the birthplace of a musical tradition so we're going to delight with the sounds created by young students and learn about Rafael Ovalle's life, national anthem music composer.
