COBAN 1st stop
Coban was never a place where we thought we would spend much time. It is merely another old mountain town, known now as a convenient launching point for nearby caves, falls, etc. We found a cheap and scenic campsite within city limits at the Parque Nacional.
Thats Ray's truck you seen on the right there. Ray is from BC and we will see him again soon.
The park is green and lush with dense forest, yet only a 5-10 minute walk to the bustling town square. So we planted down for a night. The following morning, we went on the tour of an old coffee plantation owned called Finca San Margarita. Owned by Germans, it produces Deiseldorff beans, is guided by Angela, and lost on Beckers, who understood very little of the rapid all-Spanish tour.
There were plenty of trails to hike in the park, and a playground for the dog.
Left for Lanquin and Semuc Champey after a few days, but our time in Coban was not finished....
