Guatemala

Las Verapaces

Guatemala’s green heart: the turquoise pools of Semuc Champey, Q’eqchi’ ceremonial caves, cloud forests where the quetzal nests, and the land of cardamom, coffee, tea and kaq’ik under the eternal chipi chipi drizzle.

Useful traveler info

Cobán is ~215 km (4–5 h) from the capital. Semuc Champey is 2–3 more hours on a dirt road from Lanquín — worth every bump. Bring a rain shell: the chipi chipi drizzle is part of the charm. Kaq’ik is national heritage: order it.
