Did you know? Cobán

Cobán is the capital of Alta Verapaz, a region named for its 'High True Peace' after Spanish conquistadors declared an end to warfare with Indigenous Poqomchi' and Q'eqchi' Maya.

The city sits at 1,320 metres elevation in Guatemala's verdant highlands, surrounded by some of Central America's most pristine cloud forests and underground rivers.

Cobán hosts the Rabin Ajau (Daughter of the King) beauty pageant each year, a tradition since 1954 that draws Indigenous Maya contestants from across Guatemala.

The Cathedral of Cobán, completed in 1680, features a unique blend of Spanish colonial and Maya architectural elements and sits on the central plaza.

Lanquín Caves, 30 km south of Cobán, contain an underground river and pre-Columbian Maya artefacts, and are one of Guatemala's most visited natural attractions.

Cobán was historically a major hub for cardamom cultivation—Guatemala still exports more cardamom than any other country globally.
