    Don’t be seen with a guide coming in !
    First place saw us with a private guide and we paid over the odds for some bananas, next place was 1Bz for 8 excellent bananas which is amazing value. Oranges were great too watermelon really lacks flavour. Friendly stall owners who don’t hassle you so enjoyable 5 mins Rob

    Average Market on Weekdays
    We stopped here on a weekday as it was very close to where we had eaten lunch. Most vendors were selling produce which looked very good although the vendors were largely selling the same products. There were also some vendors in a different area selling souvenirs and household goods. Not a bad place to visit but pretty ordinary on a weekday. Note that Saturdays are much busier and might be more interesting.

    We went on a weekday so there were many booths closed. I think it would be much more lively on the weekend. There were booths with garage sale type clothes. I don't think we bought anything here, but I could see how it would be fun when fully opened.

Great spot to stock up on fresh food, including fish. There are also many food vendors for a meal. Starts at 6 am. Many do not speak English.

Shopping for local groceries and overpriced souvenirs. Completely not worth the visit. Disappointed. Nothing special.

This place has dozens and dozens of vendors present. We were only able to go on a Sunday so it wasn’t nearly as busy as the prime days of Saturday and then Tuesday or Wednesday (ask your hotel staff what’s the second busiest day as we cannot recall exactly).

Plenty of produce vendors there daily as well as a make-shift food vendor selling pupusas (an El Salvadoran treat) and other Mesoamerican food. It was delicious and super cheap!

Definitely include this on your itinerary while in San Ignacio.

This market is where the locals gather to sell their various products, fruits, vegetables, etc. We walked through it to purchase some oranges. The city is not a must see.

Unfortunately we only had the chance to visit the market in the morning on our last day.
It was a lovely market full of colour and all the local people doing their daily shop.
We had been recommended to try Pupusas and we found a stall offering these. They were made freshly in-front of us and tasted great. The costs were less than £1 each so we were very impressed and would definitely recommend eating in the market even if you’re not on a right budget.
We believe the market is open from around 6am but can’t confirm exactly. Give it a try for cheap and local cuisine!
