Kakol Kiej

Kakol Kiej is the K'iche' name of the place later called Mazatenango, on Guatemala's Pacific slope. Its fertile country lies between the volcanic highlands and the coastal plain of Suchitepéquez. The name appears in the Title of the House of Ixquín Nehaíb, a K'iche' historical document. During the colonial period, the richness of the soil and the abundance of cacao made the surrounding region highly sought after.

The later city of Retalhuleu lies here.
