Iximché is a Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican archaeological site in the western highlands, approximately one hundred kilometers from Guatemala City. I arrived there on a cold and windy morning, together with thousands of other people from different remote areas in the western regions of the country. They had all come to participate in a consultative assembly, gathering four ethnic groups coexisting in Guatemala: Maya, Mestizo, Garifuna and Xinca, to make a historic decision to run senatorial candidates in the fall 2015 presidential election.
