rivers look ok, but the bonus numbers could use some help? As in how much each is worth.

I recommend you open up the border between Escuintla and Santa Rosa; it probably isn't a great idea to have one chokepoint to defend sur-este and only two between the east half of the map and the west half.

More appropriate bonuses seem to me:
1 for the Capital
2 for Centro, Sur-Este, and Norte
3 for Este (should that be Oeste?)
4 at most for Sur-Oeste

You'll want to code the Capital neutral and code in starting positions over Centro to ensure that nobody starts off the game with it.

OK, I added in a river texture layer, changed the bonus, and removed the river.

I'm in favor of making Centro worth only one.

The rest of the bonus numbers look good to me.

It'd be strange to me that the 3-territory region is worth as much as the 1-territory region. Not that that's necessarily bad, mind you.

Well, I'm thinking that Ciudad Capital is a natural bonus enhancement for centro and perhaps al sur-este as well. Plus, its going to start neutral, it will serve as a protective barrier for both centro and al sur-este as well.

Do you think the border between E.P and Jalapa should be open? That would ease the protection on both of them with Ciudad Capital startinng neutral.

What'd be a good value for the Capital? 3? 4?

Well, much like the Mexico map, I like that the impassables direct players towards trying to gain the capital. So I'm a bit unsure.

I think a better resolution might be to let Zacapa border Alta Verapaz.

Yeah, I'll throw my favor behind removing the impassable between Zacapa and Alta Verapaz and not reducing the bonus.

Now, you need to decide how many starting neutrals there should be on the Guatemala territory. Having fewer means it will likely be taken early on; having more means it's more likely to stay neutral for a while, and thus act as a defensive barrier for the zones around it.

Starting neutral 3 sounds good to me.

Centro should be coded with starting positions. That basically means the XML says that in 2-3 player games, one player can't start with the whole bonus. It'll be fairer that way. But you don't have to worry about that until someone actually codes the XML, so just note it in the first page for now.

That's about it. The only thing that seems to be missing from this map is community support. I'll just let the map stew for a bit to see if anyone has any more comments. If you have any friends from Guatemala -- or any friends on CC at all -- have them take a look at it and see what they think.
