Sipacapán is a municipality in the Department of Totonicapán in western Guatemala, located in the Central American highlands at an altitude of about 2,500 meters. It is known for its strong Mayan cultural heritage and is populated by mostly indigenous Mayan speakers of the Xipacapán language.
Situated around the volcanic belt, Sipacapán has a mountainous terrain and a mild, dry climate. The average annual temperature is about 15°C, with a dry season (November-April) and a rainy season (May-October), which is suitable for traditional agriculture such as corn and beans.
The region retains unique Mayan ceremonies, textile crafts and traditional dress. The economy is based on agriculture, with coffee farming being an important source of income, and handicraft sales and tourism are gradually developing.
Visitors can experience original Mayan community life, visit colonial-style churches and hike the landscape around the volcano. The annual San Sebastian Festival in January is an important time to experience traditional songs, dances and fairs.
