The vast majority of the approximately 25,000 people living here are Maya who speak a language known as Mam. This web site is meant to serve as a means for members of this community to promote their civic improvement projects among English-speaking users of the Internet. Remnants of tropical cloud forest can still be found in some remote areas near the southern limits of the municipality.
Temperatures are quite cool in most areas, especially at the higher elevations.
There is a pronounced rainy season which usually lasts from around May to September. Most Todosanteros are extremely hardworking and capable people. While nearly everyone is a native speaker of Mam, many people, at least in the municipal center, are also quite fluent in Spanish. Virtually all women are accomplished weavers and the artistic expression seen in their brocade work is often extraordinary. Women personally create most of their families' clothing as well as produce beautiful textiles for sale to others in town and tourists.
