Opened for a few years, this museum is an initiative of the «Cojol Yá Association» initiated by the same woman who created Santiago. It is a non-profit organization promoting the work of women in the village and aiming to preserve the art of Tissage weaving. Some of them have also cast on the museum's professions. In two small rooms you will find the explanations (in English and Spanish) of the various stages of weaving and can watch a video on the culture of Lake Atitlán. A loom is at the disposal of visitors so that everyone can exercise their talents. Sale of finished finished products created on site.

Cojolya, association certifiée commerce équitable, oeuvre pour la préservation du tissage, une séculaire tradition du Guatemala ; elle regroupe 35 artisans.
Avec Cojolya, nous sommes partis à la rencontre de plusieurs tisserands et tisserandes du village, et nous avons partagé d'inoubliables moments avec des artisans fiers de nous présenter leur savoir-faire et de nous expliquer les traditions de leur communauté.
Nous avons admiré leurs réalisations uniques, aux couleurs vives et aux motifs empreints de symboliques culturelles (comme les huipiles et le tocoyal).
