San Antonio Palopó is beautifully set on the store of Lake Atitlán, 11 km. from Panajachel. It extends up the sloped hills to the old highway where there is a mirador between San Andres Semetabaj and Godinez overlooking the splendor of the lake. The women are often seen in nearby Panajachel selling their hair ribbons and what are usually commercial copies of the men’s shirts, along with their produce and other weavings made for the tourist trade. The Peace Corps has had a long established influence on the Tunecos, bringing foot looms from Totonicapán in the 1960’s to create their fine, elegant yet simple fabrics for a broader market. Cooperatives were set up in the 1970’s both for textile production and agriculture, especially onions and more recently chrysanthemums. The men’s main focus is on the land. Terraced up from the lake are their onion fields where the men are seen working the fields in their full village traje. The majority of the men of San Antonio continue to wear their distinctive hand woven costume. Their three-quarter length sleeved shirts is of a similar fabric as that of the women’s huipil. It has a freestanding collar, top stitched with decorative colored threads.
