Champerico is an important port city in the Republic of Guatemala, located on the Pacific coast in the southwestern part of the country, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Retalhuleu. As one of the few deep-water ports in Central America, the port of Champerico is a key hub for Guatemala's foreign trade, handling agricultural products, containers and bulk cargo.
Champerico is situated on the coastal plain at 14.3°N, 91.9°W. It has a typical tropical climate with high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year. The city is surrounded by dense mangrove forests and fertile agricultural areas, producing cash crops such as bananas and palm oil. Its geographical location near the Mexican border makes it easily accessible by land and sea.
The city's economy is based on port logistics and fishing, with a modern marina and fisheries processing plant. Due to the high tidal drop, the port of Champerico has a unique trestle-style design to accommodate changes in water levels. The city's infrastructure, which includes customs, warehousing areas, and worker neighborhoods, is small but functional, making it an important economic hub on Guatemala's Pacific coast.
