Introduction to Malacatán, Guatemala
Malacatán is a city in the department of Santa Rosa, Guatemala, located in the southwestern part of the country, close to the Mexican border, in the transition zone from the Pacific Coastal Plain to the high plateau, at an altitude of about 240 meters above sea level. The climate here is warm and humid, with an average annual temperature between 22-30°C, which is suitable for agricultural development. The local economy is based on agriculture, mainly growing crops such as corn, beans and sugar cane, while small businesses and handicrafts are also more active. As a border area, Malacatan has frequent cultural exchanges with Mexico, and traditional festivals such as the "Patron Saint Festival", which combines elements of indigenous and Spanish culture, attract tourists from the surrounding area. With a population of about 80,000, most of the inhabitants are Mestizos, who preserve traditional crafts and folklore, making it one of the most important regional centers in southwestern Guatemala.
