Places Back to top The Macal River has been the source of life and the main mode of transportation for many centuries. The Hawkesworth Bridge crosses the Macal River at San Ignacio. One of the typically colorful homes across the border in nearby Flores, Peten, Guatemala. Even in decay, the colors remain striking. Farmers and shoppers fill the market area every day, especially Saturday.
Fresh citrus is among the produce available at the market.
Don't forget the tomatoes. There's not much you can't find at the market. An idyllic rest stop in the rain forest upriver from San Ignacio. Just hope no one is coming the other way. Munching a leaf.
