Guatemala

Guatemala offers one of Central America's lowest costs of living, with digital nomads living comfortably on $800-$1,200/month. The country lacks a dedicated digital nomad visa but allows 90-day stays with easy extensions via border runs to neighboring CA-4 countries. Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage colonial city, has emerged as the primary hub for remote workers with reliable 20-40 Mbps internet and growing coworking scene. Safety requires navigation—Guatemala City has high crime in certain areas, but Antigua and Lake Atitlán maintain significantly better security profiles with active expat communities.
