To continue with our family adventures in Guatemala my husband and I decided that we wanted to visit Semuc Champey and the Lanquin Caves. For that we had to stay in the nearby town of Coban.

Find all the best tours to do around Coban with the kids. 

 

Coban is a beautiful town located in the Alta Verapaz Department of Guatemala. It is located 1320 meters above sea level and it gets a bit chilly at night so don’t forget to bring a good jacket. It is also one of the major coffee producers of the country. Plus it is located among mountains and forests that guard one of Guatemala’s treasures: the Monja Blanca Orchid. (this country’s national flower).

As our accommodations we chose a tiny but beautiful hotel called Casa Duranta. It’s not luxurious, it’s not a super famous resort but it is beautiful, has gorgeous gardens and the rooms are very private. But before going to Semuc Champey and Lanquin we decided that we wanted to get to know the town a little bit better so we went out for a walk. We ended up getting to this town’s central park which I have to admit looks a lot better than I thought.

The next morning before we started our adventure to the main touristic spots of the region we went to another nearby hotel called La posada for a lovely breakfast.
