Overview
Switzerland's embassy in Guatemala City operates from Torre Internacional in Zona 10, sharing the building with the British Embassy. The mission covers both Guatemala and Honduras, with the ambassador accredited to both countries. Consular matters for Swiss nationals in Guatemala are handled by the Swiss Embassy in San José, Costa Rica, which serves the broader Central American consular district (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama). At the end of 2023, 27 Swiss nationals were registered as living in Guatemala. Switzerland and Guatemala maintain bilateral relations focused on development cooperation, human rights, and trade — Guatemala exports coffee, cardamom, and tropical products to Switzerland. For Swiss travelers, Guatemala offers the heart of the ancient Maya world at prices significantly below European and even other Latin American destinations.
