We drove something like 7 hours to get to Coban, thanks to all the hidden speed bumps in every villages.

The view was awesome. We had to cross a river on a "ferry", that didnt look that secure at all.

Then we drove through the mountains, it was really great, but we were really tired.

We arrived in Coban, a really really dirt...

Cestu do Cobánu jsme absolovali s cestovni kancelari za 21USD. Cesta je s nekolika prestupy a zmenou nadrazi v Guatemala city, tudiz jsem zvolili tuto moznost. Cestovka nam to napalnovala minibusem zpet do Antigui, zde zmena minibusu do Guatemala City a zde lepsim busem do Copánu. Realita byal ovsem trosku jina. Do Antigui to bylo dle planu. Zde...

As usual, we choose to navigate our way through the countries via public transport. This country has proven to be the most adventurous so far. The terrain is filled with mountains which makes the roads twisty, turney adventures. Many of the locals drive fast and a bit careless creating many accidents. Unlike Asia and India they don't seem to use...

The journey from San Pedro to Semuc Champey required a night´s stopover in a town called Coban. The area is described in the Lonely Planet as a ´hot destination for adventure travel´ but with only one evening to spend we decided to explore the town centre. The only memory I will take from this place is the time it took us and Anne and Antwin (th...

7th June Set of this morning for the town of Coban and are amazed at the difference in roads, once we get back to the main C5 again it is asphalt all the way to the town and in all 50 kms there was only one pothole. We had a couple of detours en route though, at one place we knew there was a bridge with a height of 3.5 metres but on arrival at t...

Here are some pictures when I was in Semuc Champey. I know I am really bad at updating this and so I am just puting up some pictures.

WEATHER: overcast, warm, rain showers. Heavy rain at night. TOTAL MILEAGE: 5.1 miles Breakfast is included in the hotel bill, so we started the day at La Estacion (desayuno tipico- scrambled eggs with chopped ham, toast, beans, plantains, juice and coffee-- very good!) today. I made a point to get more details while we were there, as this is a p...

So we arrived in Coban yesterday afternoon. It was super confusing at the bus terminal. As we go more south, less people know english, and our lack of spanish is hitting hard. We know the basics, but sometimes we feel really lost. The phrase books helps us out a lot. We are (mostly me, andrea) are definitely considering one of those spanish clas...

26 - San Elena to Coban. i bought a bus ticket to Coban, but it didn´t leave until 1pm and it was 8 in the morning..(the guy at the hotel said there was indeed an 8am bus to coban).. after sitting for 5 minutes at the bus station eating water crackers (without water), i said screw this and walked to the other bus station... a man in a bright pin...

After 9 hours of travel on 2 luxury buses (no chickens allowed) we arrived in fair Coban. For the 2 days we stayed, we never ate in a restaurant that had other diners. Perhaps this was due to quality of the restaurant food that sent Woody into a 5 day intestinal battle in which he is still having minor guerilla attacks. In contrast, we went to a...
