A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Guatemala
Locations
Guatemala City is the nation’s large and busy capital, complete with many of the urban ills of other larger Latin American cities, including crime and poverty. The city does not exemplify the beauty of the country but it does illustrate the need for international English teachers in Guatemala. Most private schools and international schools, including the Christian American School of Guatemala, are located in Guatemala City. It is also the best place to find commercial private language school jobs and private tutoring opportunities in Guatemala.
Antigua is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must see city. It is rich with Spanish colonial ruins, as well as some of the oldest universities and churches in the region. Antigua also happens to be home to over 30 Spanish language schools. The town is surrounded by amazing volcanoes, and sits in the shadow of the dormant and majestic Volcan Agua. The local indigenous market is grand and chaotically beautiful as well.
The Western Highlands is the region to the west of the capital, which includes Lake Panajachel, Chichicastenango, Chimaltenango, Antigua, Quetzaltenango (Xela), and other “-ango” towns. These small towns have become seats of fourth world centers, non-profits, agricultural co-ops, coffee production centers, hippy art stalls, and general backpackers escaping on La Ruta Maya.
