One evening in the town of Santiago de Atitlan, Joanna and I were having a snack at a cafe when a man came up to us and asked if we would like to visit Maximón. Having done a little research about who, exactly, this Maximón was, Joanna said "yes" and we agreed to meet.

The next morning our guide informed us that before our visit we had to stop and buy offerings to bring him. These included some copal incense, a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of booze, and lastly, a bit of cash.

After stopping at small local shops to pick up these items, our guide then brought us down a few narrow side streets to this house.
