Girl, Santa Catarina Palopo



    Girl, Santa Catarina Palopo



    Santa Catarina Palopo's particular shade of blue is like nothing you'll see anywhere in the world. With a picturesque view of Lake Atitlan, the small village of Santa Catarina Palopo produces some of Guatemala's best hand made textiles. Almost all women here wear traditional clothing, including this type of headdress.



    "Custom, that unwritten law, by which the people keep even kings in awe."  -Charles Davenport-
