Cobán

Cobán lies among the wet, wooded ridges of Alta Verapaz, a setting that has made it a long-standing centre for Guatemala’s coffee and cardamom trade. The city is closely associated with the Q’eqchi’ Maya, while Poqomchi’ communities are also part of the wider department’s identity. Each July, Cobán hosts the Rabin Ajaw National Indigenous Folkloric Festival, bringing Maya delegates and traditional dress to the city. The Cahabón River runs through Alta Verapaz toward the Caribbean lowlands, and the limestone country farther east includes Semuc Champey.
