Izabal, Guatemala

Department MapThe Department of Izabal is one of the 22 departments of Guatemala. It is located in the easternmost part of the country and all of Guatemala's eastern / Caribbean seacoast is in Izabal.

The most prominent feature of the Department of Izabal is Lago Izabal (Lake Izabal) which at 590 km2 is Guatemala's largest lake. Izabal is important to much of Guatemala's history because it contains the seaports through which pass all of Guatemala's commerce with Europe and most commerce with the United States. Izabal is home to Morales / Bananera, which was the headquarters of the banana producing United Fruit Company which dominated Central America for much of the 20th century. The departmental capital of Izabal is the seaport town of Puerto Barrios, which was the shipping hub for the United Fruit Company.
