Jutiapa, Municipal capital in Jutiapa Department, Guatemala

The municipality extends across 610 square kilometers of southeastern Guatemala, positioned at an elevation of 895 meters above sea level.

The department of Jutiapa holds distinction as Guatemala's only administrative region without native Mayan descendants, maintaining a predominantly Ladino population.

The San Cristobal Cathedral stands as the central religious institution of Jutiapa, serving as the episcopal seat for the Roman Catholic Diocese since 2016.

Local artisans manufacture traditional products including tallow candles, woven hats, leather goods such as saddles, and various ceramic items for commercial distribution.

The municipality carries the title 'Birthplace of the Sun' and features a coat of arms with a cornucopia representing its role as the agricultural center of eastern Guatemala.
