Taxisco is a town and a municipality in the Santa Rosa department of Guatemala. It is located very close to the Pacific Ocean.
Taxisco is famous for being the birthplace of Juan José Arévalo. He was a very important person who served as the President of Guatemala from 1945 to 1951. Being president means he was the leader of the country.
Long ago, before the Spanish arrived, the area where Taxisco is now was home to the Xinca people. They were the original inhabitants of this land.
