Shopping

Nim Pot: Home of the best collection of napkin holders and refrigerator magnets in Central America. Actually, Nim Pot is a one stop shopping for all your trinket needs, from Mexican death tableaus, to statues of Maximón, to huipiles and traje from all over Guatemala. Very cool store.

Estrellas: Located just a few doors up from Nim Pot, Estrellas offers beautifully produced, high end fashion, jewelry and art. All the products are excellent quality and the relaxed atmosphere of the store makes you feel very much at home.

Dyslexia Books: Attached to Café No Sé, Dyslexia Books has high quality used literature in many languages. They buy books, too.

Antigua Tabaco Compañia: Attention Americans, if you want to smoke a really, really good Cuban cigar, but don’t want to risk the $50,000 fine associated with traveling to Havana, drop by Uwe’s store and take a tour around his walk in humidor, its the largest in Central America.

Deliciosa: Finding good produce, hard to get imported foods, quality deli meats, cheeses and wines is what Deliciosa is all about. Give them a look when you’re feeling too far from home.

El Sol Maya: Really cool store with high quality, hand crafted Guatemalan textiles, bags and accessories. If shopping brings you pleasure, then Artesania Maya will tickle you in all the right places. Bring a friend and make room in your luggage for the trip home.
