Answer 2

The zip code for Concepción Tutuapa in the department of San Marcos is 12006.  

Zip codes are a relatively new concept in Guatemala, introduced with the farming out of the postal service to a Canadian company, IPS, since 1998.  Your mail would probably make it without a zip code, provided you had enough info such as full town name and department.

Full name of town must be emphasized as many towns in Guatemala have a popular name such as Concepción, named after the Immaculate Conception.  Most towns in Guatemala have a second name to differentiate themselves from like named towns.  

By the way, my mom lives down there and I lived there for 10 years.  Never used a zip code, but times are a-changin'.  The link below will give you a good picture on how zip codes are organized in Guate.  Hope your letter makes it OK.
