Living in Zacapa, Guatemala is a mixed bag. The rum may be award-winning, but the reality on the ground is far less glamorous. Situated 2.3km above sea level, the cool, moist climate slows the aging process for the town's famous spirit - but it also means persistent bureaucratic headaches. And while Zacapa was founded in 1876 to celebrate its centennial in 1976, the town itself offers little to get excited about beyond that history. Overall, this sleepy Guatemalan outpost is best suited for those seeking a quiet, slow-paced life far from the hustle and bustle.
