Retalhuleu

Among the regions of Guatemala, Retalhuleu stands out for its Pacific lowlands, where sugar cane and other crops occupy land between volcanic foothills and the Pacific Ocean. Its departmental capital, also called Retalhuleu, lies in southwestern Guatemala amid an economy long shaped by agriculture and trade. At El Asintal, Tak'alik Ab'aj Archaeological Park preserves a major ancient centre with evidence of both Olmec and Maya traditions; it was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2023. The wider area also includes IRTRA’s recreation parks at San Martín Zapotitlán. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Retalhuleu.
