One of three Sacatepeques villages, San Pedro Sacatepeques lies about 23 kilometers from Guatemala City and is the first village of the three that you'll come to.  It is the smallest of the trio and is known for its excellent weaving and colorful huipiles, as well as for the export-quality flowers.  The best day to visit is market day - Friday. 

The village was destroyed in the 1976 earthquake and has been completely rebuilt. 

How to get there:  San Pedro Sacatepeques can be reached either by car or by bus from the Zone 4 terminal in Guatemala City.  You can also catch a bus from Zone 9 at the corner of 2a. Avenida and 2a. Calle.
