Guatemala City Street Map Poster

Laid out across a highland plateau and split by deep ravines, Guatemala City has a street map unlike any other Central American capital. The historic core in Zona 1 follows the Spanish colonial grid, radiating from the Plaza de la Constitución, where the Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace anchor the old town, the Centro Histórico. The pedestrianised Sexta Avenida runs through this district as its commercial spine, while the tree-lined Avenida la Reforma sweeps south toward the modern, café-filled Zona Viva. Trace the layout closely and you can read the topography itself: streets break off at the edges of barrancas and bridges leap across the gorges that fracture the city into zonas.

This printable street map turns that distinctive geography into wall art. The numbered zonas, the long diagonal avenidas, and the abrupt ravine edges give the city map a raw, organic character that the regular grids of other capitals lack. Printed large, it reads as a quiet portrait of a city shaped equally by colonial planning and volcanic terrain.
