Learn More about Being an Expat in Guatemala

The breathtaking tropical landscape of Guatemala never ceases to impress. From the vast, shimmering waters of Lake Atitlan and the white sandy beaches of Livingston, to the mighty active volcanoes surrounding the colonial city of Antigua, the diversity of Guatemala’s scenery is a feast for all expat eyes. But while dotted with ancient Mayan ruins and steeped in Mayan culture, it is also a country looking to the future. Guatemala has recently become the center of a Central American technology boom, with multinational corporations such as Google setting up operations in the capital. Many expats head to cities and towns such as Xela and Antigua to work as teachers, facilitating the growing interest among Guatemaltecos for English language learning as they look to compete in the global economy.
