Santiago Atitlán, a 30-minute boat ride across the lake from Panajachel, is a Maya-Tzutujil village at the base of the Tolimán Volcano. The women's huipiles, with embroidered birds, are some of the most beautiful in Guatemala. Coincidentally, Santiago Atitlán is a great place for bird watching. The rare Horned Guan can be found near the top of the volcano, while Azure-rumped Tanagers and Pink-headed Warblers, two species that are endemic to Guatemala, are commonly seen around the volcano's base. A visit to Santiago's church, with carved wooden panels depicting the town's religious traditions, including the local cult of Maximón, is highly recommended. Horseback rides, combined with gourmet meals, are available near Santiago. There is an active market found Santiago-Atitlan as well. The ruins of the old political and ceremonial capital of the Tz'utujil nation lie across the bay. In Santiago Atitlán, locals worship Maximon, a wooden figure draped in local traje. Maximon smokes cigars and drinks alcohol. Locals sing and make offerings to him.
