Santa Catarina Palopó
Santa Catarina Palopó is a municipality in the department of Sololá, Guatemala. The municipality is located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, about 3 kilometers south-southeast of Panajachel, a popular tourist destination. To the east-southeast is San Antonio Palopó. The three cities mentioned are connected by a paved road that goes directly through Santa Catarina Palopó. The vast majority of the city's residents are indigenous, descended from the Mayan Kaqchikel. Kaqchikel is the most common language spoken in the village, although Spanish is widely understood. Subsistence farming and fishing are the livelihoods for most families in the community, but a newly stimulated tourism industry has created a market for souvenir-style goods and services. Perhaps the most easily recognizable feature of the Santa Catarina Palopó is the blue huipil, or blouse, that is worn by the women in the community. Although guipil has been used since the 16th century, it may seem a particularly indigenous feature, the blue style is actually the result of very recent external influences.
