HUEHUETENANGO

Altitude: 6,333 feet (1,902 mts).  Population: 25,000.  Weather 

Located on the site of the pre-Columbian kingdom of the Mams, Huehuetenango is today the commercial hub of this region of Guatemala.  Known by the locals as "Huehue," this town is a good spot to spend the night when taking day trips to the outlying villages and sites.

Huehue's economy is based on agriculture and mining.  There is also a good amount of craft production: pottery, musical instruments and palm-frond weaving.  Most of the people in Huehue are ladinos.

The Plaza Central has a fountain and a relief map of the area.  It is a pleasant place to stop awhile, and to sit on one of the park benches and talk to the local kids who wander by.  Because of the relatively few tourists, it is also a good place to study Spanish.
