Petén and the small departments
Petén is by far the largest department, about a third of the country. Sacatepéquez, around Antigua, is the smallest. Belize is drawn as its own country, next door. Izabal holds the short Caribbean coast, and Huehuetenango and San Marcos border Mexico in the west.
Quetzaltenango is also spelled Quezaltenango; both count as right answers in the quiz.
Start with Petén, the big square in the north, then work south through the highlands to the Pacific.
