Overview
Guatemala's embassy in Washington DC operates from R Street in the Embassy Row neighborhood, representing Central America's most populous nation and largest economy in the United States. The US-Guatemala relationship is one of the most active bilateral partnerships in the Western Hemisphere, encompassing trade under CAFTA-DR (Central America Free Trade Agreement), security cooperation, development assistance, and migration policy. Guatemala maintains an extensive consular network across the US with 25 consulates serving a diaspora estimated at over 1.5 million — the largest Central American population in the United States. For American travelers, the embassy facilitates visits to one of the hemisphere's richest cultural destinations: Tikal's soaring Maya pyramids, colonial Antigua's cobblestone streets framed by volcanoes, Lake Atitlán's indigenous highland villages, Semuc Champey's hidden jungle pools, and the vibrant markets of Chichicastenango and Sololá.
