Pradera Xela: Western Guatemala’s Favorite Shopping Destination

Pradera Xela, the flagship shopping center of western Guatemala, has solidified its reputation as the region’s preferred destination for retail, entertainment, and community engagement. Since opening in 2001, it has welcomed over 10 million visitors annually and hosted more than 150 high-impact events that turn everyday visits into unforgettable experiences.

Part of the Pradera network by Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI), Pradera Xela is more than a mall, it’s a cultural and economic hub that reflects the growth and vibrancy of the western highlands.

A Diverse Retail Ecosystem

Pradera Xela features a robust mix of national and international brands, including American Eagle, Pandora, Victoria’s Secret, Calvin Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger. Anchor stores like Walmart, Sears, and CineStar ensure high foot traffic and a dynamic shopping experience.

Its culinary offerings range from fast food favorites like McDonald’s and Panda Express to regional gems such as San Martín and La Estancia, catering to every taste and lifestyle.

Events That Build Community

From wellness festivals to sustainability initiatives, Pradera Xela’s event calendar is designed to engage and inspire. A standout example is the 2025 Recicla Run, organized in partnership with the Municipality of Quetzaltenango, where thousands of participants collected over 20 tons of recyclable waste, merging sport, environmental awareness, and civic pride.

Integrated Hospitality: Hotel LATAM

Enhancing its value proposition, Pradera Xela includes Hotel LATAM, a modern lodging option that attracts tourists, business travelers, and families. With direct access to the mall’s amenities, the hotel reinforces the concept of a seamless, all-in-one experience, where guests can shop, dine, relax, and connect.
