Tzunun' Ya' — Attraction in Sololá

Visiting this cultural museum was an absolute delight! I would highly recommend for all visitors! The staff's depth of knowledge truly enhanced the experience. They speak Spanish and English, and Sra. Maria Esther was fantastic and hospitable.

It’s was beautifully done. They are continually improving the museum and growing just like the city. I would recommend this museum to everyone!! It was one of the...

Owner ripped us off. I handed him 150 quetzales and he claimed I paid 105. Normally I’d chalk it up to a foreigner tax but the museum was so disappointing that it really upset me

The museum itself was pretty rough regardless. You enter, they put you in a small theater room to watch this 10 minute black and white video of the locals back in the 30s or so with no commentary at all. Then you walk through about 3 rooms with some pictures and a few artifacts. All in all a pretty bad experience when I was hoping to learn more about the...
