Guatemala

Guatemala, located in Central America, is bordered by Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador, with coastlines along the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The capital, Guatemala City, is the country’s political and cultural hub. Known as the “Land of Eternal Spring” for its temperate climate, Guatemala boasts stunning natural landscapes, including volcanoes, rainforests, and Lake Atitlán. The country is rich in Mayan heritage, with ancient ruins like Tikal attracting global tourists. Guatemala’s economy is driven by agriculture, particularly coffee, bananas, and sugar, along with textiles and remittances from abroad. Despite its natural beauty and cultural richness, the country faces challenges such as poverty and inequality. Traditional practices, colorful textiles, and indigenous languages remain integral to Guatemalan identity.
