San Antonio Aguas Calientes (Spanish pronunciation: [san anˈtonjo ˈaɣwas kaˈljentes]) is a municipality in the Guatemalan department of Sacatepéquez.[2]
The municipal seat is the town of San Andrés Ceballos which is known for its weavers. Maya women in the area use a backstrap loom to weave traditional patterns. There is a two-story market on the square that sells weavings and other crafts. Several of the women have their looms set up and will demonstrate their skills. There are a couple other stores outside of town that also sell weavings.
