Coban Guatemala, The best place to visit in Guatemala!
Just a short video of one of my favorite places in Guatemala....
Coban Guatemala Attractions - Templo El Calvario
Templo El Calvario (or Iglesia Il Calvario) is church situated on top of a hill overlooking Coban and one of the top sights in this city in Alta Verapaz department of Guatemala. The biggest attraction here is the panorama of the city and since is very easy to walk to it from anywhere in the city.
There is no entrance fee and no theoretically you can visit at any hour, however it is recommended that you tour the place in day light.
Parque Nacional Las Victorias, another top sight in Coban, is situated very close, 10 min walking so you can easily combine these two attractions.

Coban Guatemala Attractions - Parque Nacional Las Victorias
Parque Nacional Las Victorias is a sprawling national park and one of the top sights in Coban, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. The park is easily accessible from anywhere in the city by walking. The entrance fee for foreigners (extranjeros) is 10 Quetzals. You can spend a few hours hiking and walking around the park as it has multiple trails to choose from. Right in front of the entrance there a small laguna which in the rainy season is flooded and not really nice.
Parque Nacional Las Victorias is one of the few top attractions in Coban which do not require going out of town, which makes it an easy destination for many travelers who are just passing through Coban on the way to Lanquin (for Semuc Champey) or Flores (for TIkal).

The most stunning spot around the Atitlan Lake? 100 km hike - day 1 - Panajachel to...(sub:EN,PL,ES)
Do you want to belong to the first ones to do something around the Atitlan Lake, before it gets too popular?
Are you asking yourself a question: can you walk around Atitlan Lake? Yes, you definitely can! This is exactly what we did!
Atitlan Lake is one of the most well known tourist destinations in Guatemala, and I completely understand it, since it is one of the most beautiful places not only in Guatemala, but is also called as the most beautiful lake in the world. Imagine that!
But most of the time, the Atitlan Lake is visited for only few days, and most of the people either stay in Panajachel (I call it: the tourist town), or in San Marcos (I call it: commercialized hippy town) or in San Pedro (I call it: Israeli town). Maybe some more active travelers explore also the neighboring towns on tuk tuk, kayak or on a boat.
But Atitlan Lake has much more to offer than that! It is not only climbing the Indian Nose to see the sunrise over the lake. It is not only drinking free beer in Santa Cruz or enjoying the views over San Pedro volcano from one of the many hostels in San Pedro or buying souvenirs in Panajachel, that don't even come from the region.
I have been exploring Guatemala and its plethora of hiking opportunities for the last 4 months, and my friend, Abel has been traveling around Central America on a bicycle for the last 9 months (his views on bike travel on budget in Central America:
While admiring the Atitlan Lake from one of the usual hiking trails, we came up with a bit of a crazy idea to circumnavigating the lake on foot.
In July, August and September I was 2018 staying in Jaibalito, which is one of the smallest villages around the lake, since the only option to get there is on a boat, or on foot through hills and mountains. The next town, Santa Cruz is kind of a dead end, since from there it's impossible to get to Panajachel without using the boat.
So that is why we decided to start the hike around the Atitlan Lake from Panajachel, and get back to Jaibalito the longer way - after going through all the villages of the lake.
We calculated more or less 100 km on foot, through Panajachel, Santa Catarina Palopó, San Antonio Palopó, Agua Escondida, San Lucas Tolimán, Cerro de Oro, Santiago de Atitlan, San Pedro la Laguna, San Juan la Laguna, San Pablo la Laguna, San Marcos la Laguna, Tzununa y Jaibalito.
On the first day we took a boat from Jaibalito to one of the jetties in Panajachel, the least known, where they charge 10 quetzales and not 20! So that is a good tip: if taking the boat from Panajachel, get to the pier, which is called Tzanjuyu, it's just at the beginning of the town, before the La Torre supermarket.
On the first day we did only 14 kilometers, but some of it was a good way up. Maps.me indicates approximately 6 hours for that distance.
We went through Santa Catarina, which surprised us with the colorful blue houses and the variety of handcrafts. Then San Antonio de Palopo, where we had some difficulties in finding anything to eat.
In the afternoon we arrived at a lookout point, just 2 kilometers before Agua Escondida. The views were so stunning and the surrounding so welcoming, that we decided to stay there. Since, if a place calls you, just stay where you are.
We pitched the tent in a front line of the lake, and had some basic supper (bread with peanut butter) watching the most amazing sunset over the lake. It was an unforgettable moment!
The first day it didnt rain at all, neither during the day, nor durning the night, which was really quite surprising, since the previous weeks it was always raining at least during the night. After all, we are in the middle of the rainy season in Guatemala!
For the entire 5-day trip, we spent 152 quetzales (22 USD), so the daily expense is approx. 4USD).
I hope you will enjoy the video and the views. And that it will be an inspiration for you to do something alternative, less touristy and well off the beaten track around the Atitlan Lake!
If you know of anyone, who is as much into hiking as me, or you think anyone could benefit from the video, share it with them:)
