    Description

    San Jorge de la Laguna, GUATEMALA - Mayan Procession - 1948: Lake Atitlán is a lake in the Guatemalan Highlands of the Sierra Madre mountain range. It is in the Sololá Department of southwestern Guatemala. It is the deepest lake in Central America. The lake is surrounded by many villages in which Maya culture is still prevalent and traditional dress is worn. The Maya people of Atitlán are predominantly Tz'utujil and Kaqchikel. During the Spanish conquest of the Americas, the Kaqchikel initially allied themselves with the invaders to defeat their historic enemies, the Tz'utujil and K'iche' Maya, but were themselves conquered and subdued when they refused to pay tribute to the Spanish. This Linen Era postcard, mailed in 1948, shows a procession in San Jorge de la Laguna, Guatemala. This card is in good condition. El Indio, Guatemala.
