Traveling on a lancha, or boat taxi, can be expensive and many local families cannot afford daily trips to neighboring villages for supplies. Dressing in expensive huipiles, the beautifully and uniquely decorated blouses, can signify both the special nature of the trip and the pride in the beauty of this Maya craft, and in Maya heritage.
