Why live in Guatemala, why emigrate to Guatemala or stay for a long time?

Why should you live in Guatemala as an expat, emigrant or working nomad?

  • because of the friendly and often very hospitable locals.
  • because of the cultural diversity and beautifully rediscovered Mayan culture.
  • because of the activities you can do in nature or under water.
  • because of the Guatemalan coffee culture and its social life.
  • because of Guatemalan cuisine and tropical fruits.
  • because of the low cost and reasonable standard of living; especially compared to most other countries in Central America.
  • because of the extra free time of your own due to domestic and other help.

What should you pay attention to?

  • that public transportation is not equally well regulated and/or safe in all parts of Guatemala.
  • that social inequality and poverty is still significant in many places.
  • that you sometimes have to adjust your demands in terms of efficiency and diligence.
  • that the quality of wifi connections can sometimes falter.
  • that health care in the cities is generally good, but can still be poor outside.
  • that housing in the larger cities is generally fine, but that you have to be careful which neighborhood you arrange housing in.
