Coban Hotels - Reviews and Rates

So after backtracking across the country in switchbacks and bad bad roads we made it to coban the second to last stop before getting to our final destination lanquin which we were suppose to go to. About 15 min outside coban the driver turns to us and says that because of rains the road to lanquin was not good so we would have to stay the night ...

After a good 7 hours travelling from El Remate near Tikal to Cobán all on the famous Chicken-Collectivos Iīve had enough. They grind to halt anywhere along the highway to collect more passengers usually twice the number than of those getting off. Regularly apparently chicken as well but I have to admit that I didnīt have any aqaintance with them...

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 reli...

We have said goodbye to communicating to anyone else in English. We wished for hot showers yesterday after a massive trek in Tikal....... we ended up with no water at all. The hotel had run out so immediately the two delightful daughters of the house came into our room with a large bucket of water and a bowl to use. Last night we had a big feed ...

Hello once again! Let me see what do I need to update you on... I am crossing my fingers right now as I write this, but my bed bugs seem to have died or disappeared since my bed was fumigated on Monday. No new bites the last few days! They even sprayed my suitcase for me and I took piece of clothing to the lavanderia to be washed. On Sunday I re...

WEATHER: very warm, humid, light evening shower. TOTAL MILEAGE: 19.8 miles Breakfast at the McDonald's near Plaza Magdelena- 19Q for two. My Spanish lesson went well- Helmut feels we can incorporate more conversation, so it's more interesting . Both he and Dalila (the director of the school) told us that insurance is not required in Guatemala ex...

Coban is a large town in the central mountainous region of Guatemala. The main attractions nearby are centered around Lanquin, a small village out in the sticks. Nearby is the extremely cool limestone formation at Semuc Champey. Itīs basically a big natural limestone bridge spanning the river for a several hundred metres. Smaller streams pour on...

Went back to Coban to paint a mural and hang out for Holy week. Its hard to find hostels most places for holy week so our timing worked out just right. We stayed at this sweet bed and breakfast for free with free food. All day we would paint eat and take lots of breaks to drink and play Rummicube. We stayed there for a week which helped save som...

Lots to tell but first the big news! About a week ago our heroes visited a beautiful spot in the hills outside of Antigua in the Guatemalan highlands where we stayed a couple days at a work in progress of a hostal started by an couple from Canada and the US. They have secured about 40 acres of hilly land suitable for little other than avocado fa...

Adultos Tres Doce (12), Quite a jump from the normal price of 7Q but then tonight was special Adultos Tres (adults three). As we stepped over the piles of rubble from the seeming never ending renovations and entered the theatre. I could not believe my eyes the cinema was nearly full. There must have been close to 400 to 500 people there. In near...
