About my project

My homeland <3 Guatemala, a Central American country of 17 million, is one of the hemisphere’s poorest. Six out of every 10 people live below the poverty line. Nearly half of the country’s population suffers from chronic malnutrition. It consistently ranks among the worst in the world for corruption and violence.

Not all is bad

Guatemala offers an incredible wealth of beauty, from majestic volcanoes and cloud-covered rainforests to cultural treasures such as its Mayan ruins.

What’s more, Guatemala enjoys a mild climate and nearly perfect weather year-round. This “constant spring” is one reason why it is one of the 19 mega-diversity countries that are home to more than 70 per cent of all known species in the world. Here are eight reasons why you should experience the beauty of Guatemala for yourself.
