Zacapa
Guatemala
Zacapa, a departmental capital in eastern Guatemala, is locally known for handmade cigars, cheese, and a traditional cheese-flavored cake. The town sits along the Río Grande de Zacapa, with mountains close by, and a railway line to Puerto Barrios — inaugurated in November 1896 — once opened the region to wider commerce. A UNESCO World Heritage site lies within the broader region.
