Top Attractions in San Marcos
💡 Visit during mass on Sunday at 8am to hear local choirs; the atmosphere is more interesting than the architecture. No photography during service.
💡 Arrive before 10am on Saturday for the best selection. Try the homemade cajeta (caramel candy) from the señora at the second stall. Cash only, small bills preferred.
💡 Ask the caretaker to unlock the back room — it holds the best pieces, including a rare jade pendant. Donations appreciated but not required.
💡 Come at sunset when vendors sell cheap nacatamales and fresh fruit juices. Avoid midday heat — few fans or shade beyond the trees.
💡 Walk the dirt path from the end of Calle Real, not the main road. Bring water and wear sturdy shoes — the trail gets muddy after rain. No facilities.
