Culture

Reflects strong Mayan and Spanish influences

Guatemala is one of the largest and most populas Latin American countries.

Reflects the multicultural nature of Guatemala, that involves food that differs in taste depending on region

Many traditional foods are based on Maya cuisine and prominently feature corn, chiles, and beans as key ingredients

Individuals in Guatemala are polychronic, in which they don't live their life based on a set schedule or believe they should ever be on time.

Believe they have no control over their health from day to day.

Touching is a common way to communicate feelings and use eye contact when listening to others.

Guatemalans believe injections are the most effective treatment for illnesses and they fear the chemicals used in biomedicine.
