The reigning Miss Universe Guatemala 2024 is Ana Gabriela Villanueva Jolón. She is from Santa Cruz Naranjo, Santa Rosa, Guatemala.
Miss Universe Guatemala 2025 predictions
On July 12, 2025, Villanueva will crown her successor at the Centro de Ferias y Mercados de Quetzaltenango (CEFEMERQ) in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. It is the 54th edition of the national beauty pageant that selects the country’s Miss Universe candidate.
Guatemala currently has three Miss Universe placements. These are the Top 10 finishes of Ilma Juieta Urrutia Chang and Jessica Maria Scheel Noyola in 1984 and 2010, respectively, and the Top 15 finish of María del Rosario Molina Chacón in 1955.
A total of 24 women are competing for the Miss Universe Guatemala 2025 crown. I believe these will be the Top 10 candidates:
- Sara Veralucia Guerrero Chavarría (Baja Verapaz)
- Zoila Gabriela Rodríguez Bustamante (Chimaltenango)
- Raschel Alexandra Paz Archila (Ciudad Capital)
- Ittzel Mariela Paz Aguinaga (Mixco)
- Vanessa Estefania Batres Escobar (Retalhuleu)
- Ana María Barrios Lam (San Marcos)
- Melany Lisbeth Gutierrez Betancourt (Santa Rosa)
- Flora Soledad Turcios Rodas (United States’ Guatemalan community)
- Gabriela Victoria Sánchez Escobar (Villa Nueva)
- Luz Andrea Mishelle Camas López (Zacapa)
I believe these five candidates will make it to the top:
predicted 4th runner-up
Melany Lisbeth Gutierrez Betancourt (Santa Rosa)
predicted 3rd runner-up
Gabriela Victoria Sánchez Escobar (Villa Nueva)
predicted 2nd runner-up
Vanessa Estefania Batres Escobar (Retalhuleu)
predicted 1st runner-up
Ittzel Mariela Paz Aguinaga (Mixco)
predicted Miss Universe Guatemala 2025
Raschel Alexandra Paz Archila (Ciudad Capital)
On July 7, 2024, Villanueva represented Santa Rosa at Miss Universe Guatemala 2024 and competed against 22 other candidates at the Centro Cultural Cesar Brañas in Antigua, Guatemala. She was runner-up to Mónica Andrea Aguilar Radford.
On August 25, 2024, Radford announced her pregnancy. She gave up the Miss Universe Guatemala 2024 title, which was given to Villanueva.
