Averelle Ulanski3rd HourGuatemalaGuatemala is a beautiful country located in the northwest of Mexico and borders the Caribbean Sea. It is the third largest country in South America, with an area of ​​42,042 square miles. With beautiful mountains, volcanoes, forests and waterfalls occupying most of the territory. The climate is a humid subtropical climate. They have mild, dry winters and hot summers. Guatemala is a popular tourist attraction with Mayan ruins and Tikal, well known for its beauty and ancient wonders. Guatemala is populated by more than 15.8 million inhabitants. The most spoken language is Spanish, followed by quiche. Their currency is the quetzal. Guatemala has a Constitutional Republic, its current president is Otto Perez Molina and its vice president is Rosanna Baldetti. The capital of Guatemala is Guatemala City. Guatemala is a very poor country. They have a capital per share of $5,300.00 in US dollars. This is believed to be due to lack of education, lack of infrastructure and transport. Their economy relies heavily on exports of coffee, bananas and clothing. Workers are often forced to resort to low-paid jobs and work extremely long hours. This includes work on coffee bean farms and sugar cane plantations. Many people often choose to move to the city to find work. Edgar Marie (2006). Book of questions and answers about Guatemala. Capstone Press. Mankato, Minnesota.Houses in remote areas of Guatemala are made mostly of tin and spare wood. In big cities, people live in apartments. One of the benefits of city living is education. In rural areas, education is scarce, but these areas also have paper, marketing and textile resources. Rural areas are more isolated from the “big city”. Jobs in rural areas include coffee bean farms and sugar cane plantations. One of the benefits of city living is education. In rural areas, education is a little harder to find. Rural areas also have benefits such as better air and more exercise. Given this information, I would really like to visit Guatemala. This seems like a lovely place to visit. I love how you can visit a rural place and feel like you're cut off from the rest of the world. I would like to visit it during one of the festivals. They look fun and entertaining. To dress in all bright colors. Having a rich culture and delicious food sounds good. Honestly, I wouldn't want to live there. Jobs are low paying and housing seems unstable. Still seems like a great place to visit.
