Point at a department — or tab through them — and its reading appears here.
Layer in research: 33 places transcribed from the investment atlas, 26 of them with a marker. Every marker is deliberately offset and a hairline runs back to its anchor — the department, or the point this map already anchors: the research publishes no coordinates and guessing one is forbidden.
The archive's most recent State of Prevention decree, no. 6-2026, published Apr 21, 2026, names 5 departments in its title: Guatemala, Escuintla, Izabal, San Marcos, Huehuetenango. Duration declared in the title: 15 days. See the decree at source

The dossier does not publish its exact location, so this entry carries neither department nor marker. Every specification is a promotional claim — verify. Prices not public.
The dossier places it only by road kilometre, naming neither municipality nor department: it is given no department and no marker. Prices not public.
