Zunil situated close to the city of Quetzaltenango is situated at the foot of a huge volcano by the same name. Sitting on the banks of the Salama river Zunil is a quiet town with a lively market and home to San Simón (also known as Maximón), a life-sized mannequin representing a Maya god, sitting in a wooden throne, which is moved to a different house every year, and many people visit and leave gifts at his shrine.
