Facing the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, the climate is relatively hot and humid, and it has always been an important coffee producing area in the world.

Guatemala is located in the tropics and has many volcanoes. The northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, while the southern mountains have a subtropical climate. The year is divided into two dry and wet seasons, with the wet season from November to October and the dry season from November to April of the following year. The annual precipitation in the northeast is 2000ml / m ~ 3000mm, while that in the south is 500m / m ~ 1000mm.
