Metroji clue #41

Guatemala City in five emoji

Guatemala

A capital ringed by volcanoes, sitting on Maya ruins that are inside the modern city rather than out in the jungle. It became the capital after earthquakes destroyed the last one.

What each emoji refers to

Kaminaljuyu is a Maya site inside the city, largely built over before anyone excavated it properly.
Huipil blouses are woven on a backstrap loom, and the pattern says which town the wearer is from.
The highland coffee grows in volcanic soil at altitude, which is most of what the buyers are paying for.
The quetzal is the national bird and also the currency. It is famously difficult to keep in captivity.
Pacaya, Fuego and Agua are all visible on a clear day, and Fuego erupts most weeks.
