MUSEO TZUNUN YA

This interesting museum is part of a project to support environmental education and promote community tourism. Among other things, we learn about the formation of Volcán San Pedro and the Atitlán lake, as well as the history, development of the village and its artisanal tradition. In addition, the use of the Mayan calendar is explained, as well as the meaning of a person's Nawal, defined by his or her date of birth. A central element in Mayan beliefs, it would determine the qualities of each person and impact his or her life trajectory.
