The city of Cobán is situated in central Guatemala and was founded in 1543 by Dominican priests. Much of the development of the town was done 19th century by the many German coffee farmers that immigrated there. Most of these were deported during WWII. Today, Cobán is not a particularly touristy town, usually only serving as a gateway for Semuc Champey or as a crossroads for other destinations in Guatemala. However, there are plenty of forests, waterfalls and caves around the town to visit. Cobán sits at an altitude of 1320 m and the climate is cool. There are a number of internet cafes around the main square, most charge around US$ 1.5 an hour. There are several banks along 1a Calle, including one in the main square that also has an ATM. |
