Itinerary
We´re going to start the tour at 7:00 am. We´ll pick you up in your hotel lobby in Cobán and take you to the Lanquin Caves. You can enjoy the road and the beautiful views.
We will arrive in The National Park of Lanquin Caves, located on Guatemala's northeastern coast, following a 90-minute drive. The Natural Paradise of Semuc Champey is extremely close to the National Park, which was established in 1995. The majority of people living in Guatemala are local Mayan people, specifically the Q'ueqchi' ethnic group, who consider the Lanquin Caves to be a sacred site. This was once utilized to carry out Mayan ceremonies, and it is occasionally still used for that purpose today. The caves are the Mayan entryway to the infraworld. This is the ideal opportunity to go to a mysterious location with few visitors and engage in an unusual activity that not everyone is adventurous enough to do.
On our way back to your hotel, you have the chance to relax and take photos of the marvelous landscapes of Las Verapaces, the time is yours. The last point in our itinerary is to take you safe and sound to your hotel in Coban.
