Solola, the county seat, sits about 15 minutes up the mountian from Panajachel. Traveling to hear a presentation about a near by orphanage, we noticed the view from up top was highlighted with the multi-colored cemetery that sits on the edge of the city. The dead here are buried above ground in multi-level tombs. Families rent a small ground plot, about the size of one grave, and build up rather than dig down to honor the deceased.
