Most of the foods in Guatemala are based on Maya Cuisine. Usual ingredients you will find in their dishes are beans, corn, and chilies. Some foods are only eaten on certain days of the week and some are only for special occasions. Tamales are a common food in Guatemala as well. They have different kinds such as red tamales, black tamales, sweet corn tamales, and small dough tamales.
Mayan blouses, called huipil or g?ipils, are the traditional tops. They are hand woven on a backstrap loom. Some tops can take up to 6 months for a weaver to make and they are generally made with symbolic patterns or symbols woven into them. Usual skirts are called cortes and are made on a foot pedal loom traditionally by men. The fabric is wider, longer, and thinner.

Food -! ☆ Most traditional food in Guatemala cuisine are based off of the Maya cuisine. Corn, chilis, and beans are the main three ingredients. Also, there are foods that are commonly eaten on certain days of the week. On a Thursday, for example, it's a popular custom to eat paches (a kind of tamale made from potatoes).
Clothes -! ☆ The native dress of the Mayans -- which is called traje -- may vary by village and language group. But the intent of native dressing remains the same: To preserve the rich culture history provided by the Mayans from days of long ago. To Guatemalans, their native costumes are their identity. There are 22 Mayan ethno-linguistic groups, which mean a wide variety of colors, emblems and styles in costumes. But bold colors like reds, blues, yellows and pinks are found on all types of dress -rutahsa.com
