The image captures the town's central plaza, where locals go about their daily lives, with children playing and adults engaging in various activities. In the background, the towering volcano looms, a constant reminder of the town's unique geographical location. The photograph is believed to have been taken between 1899 and 1926, during Genthe's extensive travels throughout Central America. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Guatemala and the daily life of its people during this period.
