Helpfulness
As this there were many in Santiago Atitlan. Main reason of course is that Santiago Atitlan is the touristiest place around the Atitlan Lake.
What to buy: In this shop they were selling al kind of wooden gifts. Like beautiful masks, flutes, and even a big giraffe. I haven't seen any giraffes during my trip through Guatemala.
And we (Tompt (tom and genie) and I) have a good reason not to buy any big wooden giraffes while traveling. Because it is almost certain that this giraffe never makes it to the end of the trip, so mostly it ends as fire wood for the Barbecue.

No need to search these young ladies, no problem, they will find you. And they have marvelous way of selling. And it is not just to make some money, these girls and their families really need this money to survive.
I have to admit, it is really hard not to buy something, maybe you are able to say no two times, but the third time they ask, your heart breaks, and you buy something. Most of the things they sell are small self made gifts, so for us Westerners it almost costs nothing, but for them it is good money.
What to buy: small local gifts, and beautiful scarfs

When we first saw the lake as we drove into Panajachel, we couldn't get our cameras out fast enough. The lake is surrounded by three dormant volcanoes and could be the most beautiful lake we've ever...

Lake of the Mayans, Gringos Welcome.
