Pueblos De Chimaltenango

In Guatemala there are records of the constant presence of pork in all regions
of the country since the Colonial period, serving both as a meat source and as
a source of lard. By 1697, pork were reported as one of the main products
raised by Indigenous people in places such as Patzicía, Comalapa, and Tecpán, to the
point that the pig farmers of the town of Jocotenango asked Don Francisco Fuentes
y Guzmán to regulate their sale in the City of Santiago de los Caballeros.
