Shopping in Yucatan

In some other towns, the most common articles are typical clothes, such as: guayaberas, huipiles, sandals, shoes, hats, and ternos (a very well elaborated dress that women in the Yucatan have worn in very special occasions for decades). These clothes are the most typical items in markets and handcraft stores.

Colorful hammocks and knitted swings are the specialty in other regions of the Yucatan. Meanwhile, at the beaches you can find wonderful souvenirs made of sea shells and sand. All the stores in the Yucatan have something for all tastes!
