What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Chichicastenango?

"In Chichicastenango, it's important to respect the local Mayan culture and traditions. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, as this can be seen as disrespectful. The indigenous people are often shy and reserved, so avoid being overly loud or boisterous. When visiting religious sites, such as the Santo Tomas Church, be respectful and quiet. It's considered a faux pas to enter if a religious ceremony is taking place. Also, don't take photos inside the church without permission. Bargaining is common in the markets, but don't be too aggressive or disrespectful. Remember that many of the vendors rely on these sales for their livelihood. It's also considered rude to take photos of people without their permission, especially indigenous people in traditional dress. Always ask before taking a photo. Avoid making negative comments about the local culture or comparing it unfavorably to your own. This is considered disrespectful and can cause offense. Lastly, while it's important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings, avoid treating locals with suspicion or fear. Most people in Chichicastenango are friendly and welcoming to tourists," remarked another expat who made the move to Chichicastenango, Guatemala.
