ATITLAN, or SANTIAGO DE ATITLAN

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 852 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATITLAN, or SANTIAGO DE ATITLAN , a town in the department of Solola, Guatemala, on the southern shore of Lake
Atitlan
 . Pop. (1905) about 9000, almost all Indians.
Cotton
 -spinning is the
chief
  industry. Lake
Atitlan
  is 24 M.
long
  and 10 m. broad, with 64 m. circumference. It occupies a crater more than loon ft. deep and about 4700 ft. above sea-level. The peaks of the Guatemala
Cordillera
  rise round it, culminating near its southern end in the volcanoes of San Pedro (7000 ft.) and Atitlan (11,719 ft.). Although the lake is fed by many small
mountain
  torrents, it has no visible outlet, but probably communicates by an underground channel with one of the rivers which drain the
Cordillera
 .
Mineral
  springs abound in the neighbourhood. The town of Solola (q.v.) is near the north shore of the lake.
