Spanish immigration to Guatemala information


Pedro de Alvarado led the initial conquest of Guatemala and Central America.

The arrival of the Spaniards in Guatemala began in 1524 with the conquest of the Guatemalan Highlands and neighbouring Pacific plain under the command of Pedro de Alvarado. After the conquest and the colonial era, more people came to the country not as conquerors, but to do business or daily activities.[1]
