Lake Attilan was originally formed by water from a crater left by a volcanic eruption 84, 000 years ago. Its beautiful scenery makes it known as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Huxley wrote a famous praise for Lake Attila: "Lake Lake Como, in my opinion, touches the limits of picturesque beauty, but Lake Atiran is like Lake Como with several huge volcanoes." It is really too beautiful. "

The Mayan village around Lake Attilan is also a major feature, and its residents still continue the traditional Mayan dress and customs.

The basin around the lake provides land for growing a wide variety of crops such as coffee, especially corn. Other major crops are onions, beans, pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, green chili peppers, strawberries, avocados and dragon fruits. The lake itself also raises a variety of animals, providing an important source of food for most of the surrounding people who are aborigines.
