Jutiapa Department, Department capital in southeastern Guatemala.
The department of Jutiapa extends over 3,219 square kilometers of terrain between the Pacific Ocean and El Salvador, containing seventeen municipalities.
The territory of Jutiapa experienced significant changes during the 1954 political transition, when military activities preceded the removal of President Jacobo Arbenz.
The population of Jutiapa maintains strong agricultural traditions, with regular cattle fairs and markets displaying local livestock and grain production.
Jutiapa lies 124 kilometers from Guatemala City at an elevation of 892 meters, with direct road connections to the capital and neighboring departments.
The department carries the distinction of being the only administrative region in Guatemala without native Mayan descendants among its original inhabitants.
