Guatemala Huehuetenango is one of the better-known regions of Guatemala, and the most enjoyable to pronounce.

The name translates from the Nahuatl as “ place of the ancients” or “place of the ancestors.”

This area has the highest non-volcanic mountains in Central America and they are well suited to coffee growing.

This region is probably the most dependent on coffee as an export and there are some truly astonishing coffees produced here.
