Guastatoya, Municipality capital in El Progreso Department, Guatemala.
The city of Guastatoya stands at 632 meters above sea level, connected by major highways to other regions of Guatemala.
The Spanish established their presence in 1551 in the region, leading to the creation of San Cristóbal Acasaguastlán corregimiento in the eastern section.
