It is located north of the coastal region of Tiquisate. It is both a coastal region as well as a mountainous region. Its neighboring town, San Juan Bautista (Saint John the Baptist) is known for its fine dairy products. They both have their town festivals during the month of July.

In pre-Columbian times, it is known that the Quichés had to face a war between the alliance formed by the Pipiles and the Tzutujiles and that a center of supplies was Patulul.

Following Central American independence in 1821, Patulul was assigned to the Atitlán Circuit, in district No. 11 (Suchitepéquez) for the administration of justice. Subsequently, in April 1838 Patulul became part of the region that constituted the short-lived State of Los Altos; but this attempt at secession was crushed by General Rafael Carrera, who reintegrated it into the State of Los Altos to the State of Guatemala in 1840.
