Guatemala was once the heart of the Mayan civilization. Its name originates from the Nahuatl word Cuauhtēmallān; which means a “place of many trees.” This region still shows the remains of the Mayan civilization in several sites across the country such as the Mayan city of Tikal located in the northern side.
During the colonial times, Guatemala played also an important role by being a captaincy-general of Spain and ended up proclaiming its independence in 1821 together with the rest of the Central American countries.

Currently, Guatemala is showing a fast-growing population compared to other Latin American countries with an average age of 21, that is, one of the youngest population sample in the region. In nature, it has the second largest forest in Central America: the Maya Biosphere Reserve.

There is an ecoregion diversity that goes from mangrove forests to ocean littorals. It is mainly a mountainous country divided into three regions: the Pacific Coast, the Highlands and the Peten in the northern area. The highest Central American mountain is there, the Tajumulco Volcano at 4203 meters above sea level.
