Living and Teaching English in Guatemala - Habits, Customs & Curiosities

Guatemala is one of the most visited countries in Latin America due to its beautiful natural landscapes and fascinating culture.

The demand for qualified English language teachers is also very strong, making it a great place to start an exciting EFL career.

This guide covers a range of information, including recommended vaccinations, the best places to see in the country, the best time to travel, as well as the local food and tipping culture.

As Guatemala is a Spanish speaking country, we also recommend having a look at the Spanish language section before you leave.
