Are you one of those who want to have different experiences while traveling? The wonderfulness of this tour starts from the moment we pick you up in your hotel lobby in Coban. Once we get to the National Park of Lanquin Caves, we can start appreciating the birds and plants. Then, we start our 45-minute journey inside the caves where bats, rocks, a river, and many other things can be appreciated. After that, you´re free to enjoy the river, walk around, take pictures and relax. You´ll be given a country-style box-breakfast and box lunch so you can enjoy breakfast on the road and lunch while in the National Park. This experience will be hard to forget and we´re sure you´ll want to return with your friends and family.

Considered one of the most popular places to visit in Guatemala, Semuc Champey, located in Las Verapaces, is a lush, tropical park with jungle views, caves, and swimming holes. On this private all-day tour from Coban, get a bird’s-eye view of the natural turquoise pools of the park then take a refreshing dip in the water. Following that, explore Lanquin Caves, which the Mayans used to believe were the entrance to the infraworld (a place that exists parallel to your own). Even now, some Mayan ceremonies still take place there.

This is the best opportunity to get down and dirty in the depths of the underworld in the Alta Verapaz! This trip will explore the best of what the highlands of Coban have to offer: beautiful rivers & magnificent caverns. We will don headlamps and a spirit of adventure in investigating three local grottoes. We will also enjoy the turquoise waters of Semuc Champey’s limestone pools or perhaps take a float down the Lanquin River on inner tubes. This four-day excursion is not one to be missed by the true adventurer!
