San Antonio is the Toledo District's second largest town and the most developed of the Mayan villages in the district, with running water, electricity and a village telephone. Arranged on winding roads throughout the foothills of the Maya Mountains, San Antonio is a quintessential Mayan village; complete with thatch-roof structures, brightly
dressed villagers and roaming livestock.
San Antonio's Mopan Maya are descended from the settlers of San Luis Peten; a Guatemalan village, who fled during oppression in the mid-1800s. About 2,000 people inhabit San Antonio, which is the most visited of the Mayan villages of Toledo.
