Cobán

Mountains, Coffee & Cloudy Adventures

In the heart of Alta Verapaz, Cobán is one of those destinations that wraps around you the moment you arrive. The cool climate, the mist embracing the mountains, and the warmth of its people make every moment here feel magical. This region is a paradise for those who love nature, high-altitude coffee, and authentic experiences.

From Cobán, you can set off to explore some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Guatemala. Semuc Champey, with its turquoise pools resting above a hidden underground river, is a natural wonder that leaves visitors speechless. And if you’re up for adventure, head to the Lanquín Caves, where underground passages, stalactites, and a mysterious atmosphere await.

But Cobán is more than just nature. It’s also a land of Maya Q’eqchi’ culture and traditions. Visit local communities, learn about traditional artisanal cacao, or sip a cup of freshly roasted coffee while chatting with the farmers who grow some of the country’s finest beans.

Fun fact: Every year, Cobán hosts the famous International Half Marathon, which winds through its misty streets and hills, bringing life and color to the region.

Cobán and Alta Verapaz offer a complete experience: waterfalls, rivers, caves, living history, and landscapes that feel like paintings. It’s the perfect getaway for couples, friends, or anyone seeking a deep connection with nature.
