"We felt a tremor that was a bit strong. We are monitoring the area but there is no damage here. It was a light movement that lasted for a few seconds," said Luis Medina from the Guatemalan tourist office in Puerto Quetzal, on the south coast.
The tremor was also felt in neighboring El Salvador where windows on buildings shook but no major damage was reported.
