Living in Guatemala
Guatemala is located in right in the centre of Central America; it lies just beneath Mexico, with a southern Pacific coastline and shared borders with Belize, Honduras and El Salvador. It’s capital city and most populous city is also called Guatemala. The territory of the country is situated on what once was the Maya civilisation’s epicentre. It is also the Central American state with the highest population; estimated at 17,263,000 in 2018. The country’s location means that natural disasters are a particularly severe risk, and severe earthquakes, hurricanes and tropical storms have all impacted upon Guatemala in recent years. The country also has four active volcanoes. Guatemala’s agricultural industry drives its exports; 8% of exports is coffee, 7% is bananas and 10% is sugar cane to name but a few. Tourism is also highly profitable, with several millions of visitors annually being attracted to the country for its archaeological sites and national parks, but also its coasts on both sides of the country. The official language of Guatemala is Spanish, and the majority of its inhabitants do speak it to some extent, but there is a plurality of Mayan languages that are also spoken, particular in the less developed, rural regions of the country. Guatemala City is very much the cultural hub of the country, with a variety of heritage sites and museums detailing the country’s roots. Mayan cuisine still features in modern Guatemalan recipes.
