San Andrés Itzapa is a picturesque highland town in Guatemala, surrounded by mountains and traditions that have endured for generations. Its streets retain the essence of Guatemalan daily life, where the colorful local market, quiet central park and Catholic church are the heart of the community.
This town is recognized throughout the country for housing the shrine of **San Simón**, also known as **Maximón** or **Rilaj Mam**, one of the most representative figures of Guatemalan religious syncretism. Every day it receives visitors, pilgrims and Mayan spiritual guides who keep ancient ceremonies and traditions alive.
San Andrés Itzapa also holds another of its greatest cultural treasures: the cusha, an artisanal liqueur made from sugar cane whose recipe and production methods have been discreetly passed down among local families for generations.
