The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes de Guatemala shared updates on several cultural and sporting events in the country through its official Twitter account on November 7, 2025. The tweets highlighted local competitions, spiritual traditions, and efforts to preserve intangible heritage.
In a tweet posted at 19:44 UTC, the ministry stated: "#Guatemala | Las participantes del Torneo de Cuerda de los Campos del Roosevelt demostraron su determinación y destreza en una competencia llena de energía y emoción. Ellas fueron las ganadoras https://t.co/IYHzhAIooH #ElPuebloDignoEsPrimero".
Later that day, at 20:00 UTC, the ministry addressed indigenous rights related to ceremonial practices in archaeological sites: " En Guatemala, los Ajq’ijab’ (guías espirituales mayas) tienen el derecho de realizar ceremonias en los sitios arqueológicos, espacios que son memoria viva y espiritualidad. Con su carné ingresan sin costo, preservando el patrimonio y honrando la sabiduría ancestral. https://t.co/PrqgnQqnhF".
At 20:33 UTC, another tweet described an initiative aimed at safeguarding traditional craftsmanship: " A través del Festival Vuelo Ancestral, compartimos la técnica ancestral de la elaboración de barriletes, en doce municipios.

The Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes is responsible for promoting cultural activities and protecting national heritage in Guatemala. Its recent communications reflect ongoing efforts to support community engagement through sports competitions and festivals while also recognizing the rights of indigenous spiritual leaders to access sacred sites without charge as part of broader initiatives to honor ancestral wisdom and safeguard both tangible and intangible cultural assets.
