Guatemala has over 8000 species of plants, divided between its nineteen ecosystems. Toucans, quetzals, macaws and parrots may be seen, along with herons, hawks, hummingbirds and waterfowl.Guatemala is a republic, with executive power vested in its president. Throughout its modern history it has, however, been ruled by a succession of military strongmen. Guatemalan society is divided into two sections – the indigenous Maya (the majority) and the mestizo, Guatemalans of Spanish blood, who hold the country’s economic and political power. Twenty-one different Mayan languages are still spoken today.
