The ceasefire will last through January 20.
Marquez is representing FARC at peace talks with the Colombian government, in Havana, Cuba.
However, Colombian President Enrique Santos has refused to agree to a cease fire for his forces.
The war between the two sides has gone on for over forty years.
While both sides agree that a peace must come to fruition within months, no time limit has been set on the talks.
One of the sticking points could very well be Colombia's requirement that FARC help end the drug trade, as part of the peace treaty.
FARC has survived the decades of struggle by an income which is mostly based off the drug trade.
