Market
📖 San Ignacio's 'Market' scene, centered around the San Ignacio Market, is a vibrant hub for resellers, particularly on Saturdays when it's at its busiest. Located on the banks of the Macal River, this market is a melting pot where farmers, artisans, and vendors from across the Cayo District, including Mennonite communities, gather to sell their goods. Resellers can discover a diverse array of items, from organic, pesticide-free produce and exotic fruits to handmade crafts, Maya herbal remedies, clothing, and even small electronics. An insider tip for resellers is to arrive early, especially on Saturdays, to get the best selection of fresh produce and unique handcrafted items before the crowds.
