Guatemala City (Ciudad de Guatemala) is the capital and largest city of Guatemala and the most populous city in Central America, home to approximately 1 million city residents and 3.5 million in the metro area. It operates on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC-6), a fixed year-round offset. Guatemala has one of the richest indigenous cultural heritages in the Americas — the Maya civilisation was centred here, and today approximately 40% of Guatemalans are indigenous Maya, speaking 21 distinct Mayan languages. Tikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Guatemalan jungle, is one of the greatest Maya cities ever built — its massive Temple IV rises 70 metres above the jungle canopy and features in the Star Wars original film as the Rebel Base. Guatemala is the world's largest cardamom exporter and a major coffee producer. Despite being the regional economic leader, Guatemala faces significant challenges with poverty, inequality, and natural disasters (it has 30 volcanoes, several active).
