Guatemala is the northernmost country in Central America, bordering Mexico. It covers 42,043 square miles, making it slightly smaller than Tennessee. Two-thirds of Guatemala is mountainous and volcanic.
Some volcanoes are active and tremors are frequent.
Rich forests cover 40 percent of the nation, especially in the northwest region. Most Guatemalans live on the slopes of the highlands or in the fertile, well-watered lowlands along the Pacific coast. There are two distinct seasons. The dry season lasts from November to April, and the rainy season runs from May to October. The ancient Mayan Empire flourished in Guatemala for more than 1,000 years.
