Answer this Question

When we asked people about diversity in Guatemala and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Esquipulas is the center of faith in Central America, but it does not dominate every day living. The economy of the town is based on religon (Catholic). The economy is tied to tourisum and religon," remarked another expat who made the move to Esquipulas, Guatemala.

"There are many Evangelical Church's as well as Catholic Church's. Accepting differences?? Depends how you look at it, for my taste it crosses the line a bit. For example every Saturday you can expect people knocking on my door doing some preaching and fund raising," explained one expat living in Cuidad Vieja, Guatemala.
