San Lucas Tolimán is a town of about 17,000 people that sits on the southeastern shore of Lago de Atitlán with a population that is 90-95% Highland Maya. There is a population of about the same size living in the surrounding villages. At an altitude of 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) the town offers "eternal spring" with annual temperatures ranging from 50-80 degrees F. The dry season runs from November through June/July (called "summer" locally) and the rainy season runs the other six months ("winter"). The area is free of malaria due to its elevation. The area's elevation ranges from 1,562 metres (5,125 ft) along the lake to 3,144 metres (10,315 ft) at the summit of Volcán Tolimán just west of town.
