The city's economy is based on tropical agriculture, producing sugarcane, corn, and tropical fruits, and is nationally recognized for its Samayak rum. The area retains a rich Mayan cultural heritage, with artisans specializing in colorful pottery, traditional textiles, and an annual religious procession during Holy Week that combines elements of indigenous and Hispanic cultures and attracts many tourists. As an important node connecting Guatemala's interior to its eastern border, Samayak is an ideal place to experience Guatemala's eastern flavor, with its rustic simplicity and unique cultural charms.
