It is a rural region that contains a large amount of flat land used mostly to grow cantelope. Surronding the valley are mountainous regions that often grow coffee, among other things. Zacapa is also the name for the capital of the province. Ron Zacapa Centanario, a rum considered one of the best, is made in Zacapa as well. As with all of Guatemala, Zacapa suffers terrible poverty and pollution problems. There is a pronounced dry season, often marked by more than two months without rain, which worsens the air quality of the region tremendously. The region's flat areas are known for their loud insects, called chicharras, which chirp in the fields and along the roads during the dry season.
