COBAN Notes to backpackers:
Where to stay: The Casa Acuna is a little froo-froo and a bed is 50Q. The newer Casa Blanca is on the square, more chill, and a bed is 30Q a night.
Where to eat: Lots of comedors and cafeterias on the square.
Other stuff: Check to make sure the orchids are in bloom before heading to the nursery.
LANQUIN or SEMUC CHAMPEY Notes to backpackers:
Where to stay: El Retiro is fun to party at, but the hostel 2 minutes further down the road is a little...
Hello all! Well, we´ve had a pretty jam-packed few days here... and have definitely had some fantastic adventures to round out our time in Guatemala. Saturday was a long one. We left Antigua at 11am after a bountiful breakfast at The Black Cat. Our shuttle dropped us at the Monja Blanca bus terminal in Guate and then we hopped on the Cobán-bound bus. The drive up was fascinating -- we passed through all different terrains and finally ended up in the middle of steeply rolling hills and dense c...

Travelling to Coban by car was wonderful with Carol and Chris, the American couple who were teaching at an American school in Guatemala City. They had stories to share about life in Guatemala and were a wealth of good information. About halfway to Coban, we had to cross a river on a ferry behind a big truck full of cattle. It was an unusual crossing but a pleasant one. Who knows why a bridge didn't cross the river. It wasn' that big... When we got to Coban, we decided to stay in the same hote...

The trip east to Coban occurred through a series of crowded minibuses draped with stunning mountain vista scenery at varying speeds, occasionally coming to a complete stop while half a dozen excavators reshaped the mountainside dirt road ahead.

Sixty kilometers east of Coban, Semuc Chanpey is an underground river that flows into limestone pools strung along between lushly vegetated mountains. Swimming and diving between the pools was amazing fun and full of great views. Later in the afternoon we went to the caves of Lanaquin which are full of bats, geological formations, and Mayan religious paraphernalia.

Hated my hostel in Lanquin, so got a head start in Coban. Only stayed overnight at Casa D´Acuña, which was a very pleasant place.

... San Pedro!!!!<br><br>So, we found out that the green sludge was a pretty big disaster. Basically high winds had caused the waste that the local hospital dumps at the bottom of the lake to actually come to the surface. It was such a shame as the locals really count on tourism and who´s going to want to visit a green sludgy lake hey? I wonder if the locals are still trying to fish it out with tea strainers like they were?????<br><br><br>

... a waterfall running through it into a pool which again was pitch black. This experience was by far one of the best things I've ever done. We really did feel like we were in the Goonies...absolutely amazing. Next daredevil thing was to jump off a swing into the (quite fast) running river. I<br>did it twice was cool, had to grab onto a rock though on the bank to stop the river taking me off to El Salvador or whatever the next country is. <br>We then did ...

... quite a high speed....!<br><br>On our first night, after dinner, everyone lit a bonfire and an American chick got her guitar out and everyone started singing. I represented Britain in true form of course! Cassie slipped off to bed claiming it was all rather ´cheesy´for her!! You know me though, I love a good sing song! <br><br>I´m no longer a ´Dorm Virgin´ by the way!! On our second night we moved from a shared room to a dorm. We shared ...

... as the contract is up for renewal.<br><br>Anyway back at the bar that night we cavorted with the other travellers of which a good 50% were from Israel. I simply couldn't believe how many there were in one place! But everyone got on well and had loads of fun, mainly due to the crazy bar staff that seemed to have a supreme directive to get everyone up and doing something and drinking lots of booze.

... was bare feet for me. Then, one by one, we stepped into the puddle at the entry of the cave. The puddle got deeper as the light from the entrance disappeared. This wasn’t your average cave tour, there was no boardwalks just a cavern half filled with water, that at times got so deep I would have to tread water through, and at other times swim. It really hurt when my naked feet collided with submerged rocks. The other entirely cool ...

... dirty city, where we got lost again. We kept asking people to show us the way, and the map in our Lonely Planet didnt work at all.<br><br>We finally took the first hotel we found... and discovery it was next to the "highway" of the city. We didnt sleep much... and complained at the hotel the following morning.<br><br>We argued with ...
