There are still a few Mayan villages now, but now many European/American owned mini-hotels and villas. It’s an enchanting place, but the please be very respectful if you visit, the local people are wary of outsiders — and they have a right to be. There has been a lot of injustice done to Mayan people and Guatemalan’s in general over the past few decades. If you’d like to read an incredibly gorgeous book about an Atitlan Mayan culture, read “Long Life, Honey In The Heart” by Martin Prechtel. It is absolutely the most gorgeous, heart-breaking, ecstasy-inducing poetic book I have ever read.
