Guatemala

Guatemala is a multicultural, multilingual and multiethnic country. Its territory, mostly mountainous, is rich in biotic reserves and has great ecological beauty, as well as being a reservoir of numerous important archaeological niches. The color of its handicraft markets and its regional costumes, the hospitality of its people, the beauty of its natural landscapes that frame volcanoes, lakes, rivers and mountains, make Guatemala remain engraved in the hearts of those who visit it. Guatemala suffers from one of the highest levels of inequality in the world. Extreme inequality costs lives and affects the health of people with the fewest resources; prevents professional and economic improvement through quality education because young people, mainly women, poor, and indigenous people are excluded; encourages poverty, emigration, and the illicit economy due to poor conditions or few job opportunities; and it makes the right to decent and safe housing a privilege that only a few can afford.
