Agua Blanca (ˈaɣwa ˈβlaŋka) is a municipality in the Jutiapa department of Guatemala. Like most eastern regions of Guatemala near Jutiapa ('el oriente') most locals in Agua Blanca embrace as Americans refer to it a typical cowboy, 'old western' culture. To see mustached men in tight blue jeans wearing cowboy hats and boots, carrying fully armed hand guns, with long magazines tightly secured to their leather belts in public venues with children present, is to capture in a microcosm the cultural norm of Agua Blanca, as this 'outlaw' culture most similar to that of Mexican drug cartels is quickly being accepted and assimilated into the regional culture. The most important event in Agua Blanca is its annual festival in January. As in most regions and towns in Catholic Guatemala and Latin America, the municipality of Agua Blanca holds an annual cultural, community festival known as, "Feria de Los Reyes Magos." For several days, celebrations that include carnival rides, games, delicious food, Jaripeos (bull riding contests) and a fireworks display at the central municipal park, are held to celebrate the new year and, especially, the Epiphany.
