Santa Catarina Palopó

If you're staying in San Juan, be sure not to miss out on a day tour to the fairytale village of Santa Catarina Paolpo.

 

Recently, a community-wide painting project has turned the whole town into a colourful masterpiece. Using eco-friendly limestone paint, the villagers have painted all the buildings in traditional Mayan patterns. The project is intended to boost community spirit and tourism.
