So you're saying there are now 8 continents on this planet?

Or does Central America considers North and South America to be 1 continent like they do in Europe?
Maybe you're joking but...

There are two continents in the Western Hemisphere; North America which stretches from Canada to southern Mexico. Then there is South America, which many consider to begin with Venezuela and Colombia and continue to Tierra del Fuego.

The countries that physically unite these two continents are known as Central America. They are not a separate continent. Guatemala is one of those countries.
