Guatemala - Culture Smart!
Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
Regular travel guides provide sightseeing info, accommodation listings and prices, all of which are freely available online and susceptible to Covid-related travel restrictions. Culture Smart! guides, however, focus on the people, their history, culture, traditions, and etiquette-information that is not readily available online from any single source, and make for an insightful and valuable read whether on the road or at home.

Description
The largest and most populous Central American country, Guatemala is a land of contrasts and contradictions. It offers great physical beauty alongside ancient Mayan ruins and is unique in Central America in that more than half its population is of indigenous origin.
Today the country reflects a combination of its ancient Mayan heritage, Spanish colonialism, and modern Western influence. Culture Smart! Guatemala introduces you to the complexities of Guatemalan society and shows how history has shaped the values and attitudes that you will encounter.
It describes different aspects of Guatemalan life, from festivals and cuisine to socializing and doing business. This new and updated edition provides key insights into the minds and hearts of Guatemalans today and offers practical advice on how to make the most of your visit while being an informed and considerate guest.
