Villa Nueva

Villa Nueva extends across 114 square kilometers at an elevation of 1,330 meters, containing twelve administrative zones from the kilometer 7 to 25.2 of the Pacific Highway.

The settlement originated on April 17, 1763, when Spanish and Ladino populations relocated from Tulujá River floods to establish a new community in Valle de las Mesas.

The municipality celebrates its patron saint festival on December 8 in honor of the Immaculate Conception, with traditional dances and community gatherings throughout the area.

The municipality provides access to educational institutions, medical centers, shopping complexes, and public transportation systems connecting to Guatemala City and neighboring municipalities.

Villa Nueva concentrates 12 percent of Guatemala's national industry, positioning itself as the third most populated city and among the five most competitive municipalities in the country.
