Saw Dust Carpets in Patzún, Guatemala

Fortunately on the day we visited the Patzún Project, the small village was having a festival and carnival. Folks were dressed up in Ceremonial dress.



The beautiful streets are lined with different designs. Different social groups and clubs create their own design, using colored saw dust and fresh flowers. Then someone comes around and sprays the art work with water to keep it moist so it doesn't blow away.







It was definitely not as crowded as Antigua is during Holy Week.
