It is highly prestigious for men to serve on the "cofraidia." As many as 300 men may serve at one time.  Slowly they climb the 9 steps to the "Camol Bey."  The Camol Bey has more power in the community than the mayor. 

Language: Cakchiquel     Department: Sololá

Solola clings to the top of ridge overlooking the beautiful Lake Atitlán.  As a crossroads there is a constant hustle of buses and vehicles. A windy, but spectacular view of volcanoes can be seen easily from the town.
