Guatemalan cuisine is a flavorful blend of Mayan traditions and Spanish influences, rooted in corn, beans, chili peppers, and seasonal herbs. It features a wide variety of stews, tamales, and grilled meats. Popular dishes include pepian (a rich meat stew with roasted spices), jocón (chicken in a green tomatillo and cilantro sauce), and chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers). Corn tortillas accompany almost every meal. Traditional drinks like atol and desserts made from tropical fruits and cinnamon also play a key role. Guatemalan food reflects the diversity and depth of the country’s cultural heritage.
