It is smaller than many of the other towns and with many pess toruists, which has allowed it to preserve much of its traditional culture, which is making textiles with natural dyes. Lake Atitlan is seen as the most important single tourist attraction in Guatemala; and is Central Americas deepest lake. There are many villages on the banks of the lake; each with different identity and culture; the majority of the population in the region identify as indigenous Maya and many still wear traditional dress and speak Maya languages.
