Ütz apetenik, saqarik, bienvenido, and welcome to our expat community in Guatemala! We at InterNations are here to help you through the process of moving to a new country.

Once you've become a member of InterNations, you’ll find all the answers you’re looking for in regards to moving abroad, such as, “how do I access healthcare in Guatemala?”, “what kind of lifestyle can I expect living in different regions of Guatemala?”, and “what can I do to stay safe and secure in Guatemala City?”. Our experienced members are always happy to help answer those questions and more. Guatemala is a diverse country, full of ancient history and culture alongside modern developments, offering the adventurous expat an unforgettable experience.

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.

    Moving to such a vast and lively city abroad scared me a little, but this site helped my acclimatisation as an expat in "Guate" a lot.
