15 min drive from Coban downtown. We were greeted by a warm-friendly hostess whom shared highlights on the tour before jumping into it. We were provided with organic-mosquito repellent, te and magnifying glasses (for the miniature orquids). Eric, our guide is deeply knowledgable and all 500 species nurtured in the property. We took a 45-60 min hike through the whole place and still had time for some fun pics. You will still have time to do other activities during the day (we took this on our way back to Guatemala city). We totally recommend this all nature-peaceful walk.

We walked the long trail and enjoyed every minute of it! We arrived too late to see a Quetzal, and I think they would be pretty hard to spot anyway, but it was still a gorgeous walk.

We visited the park with tour operator @CobanTravels (super recommended - Don Leonel, our guide was the best). We were there just 2weeks after ETA & IOTA storms so many sights were still down (repairing for reopening). From downtown Coban to San Juan Chamelco, we took a ~30 min drive (do to rains, our guide drove an AWD as precaution). We were lucky to have the entire park to ourselves. We spent 30/45 min on small rafts oaring up a stream, after which our guide provided Boots, Helmets and lamps to go into the cave. (Important to bring extra clothes - since water level was high from recent rain; we changed shirts, pants and socks after coming out) The whole walk through the cave took about an hour (in/out). It is quite narrow at times and super slippery. We had our teenage daughters us (14/16 yo) and did more than fine. They enjoyed the experience a lot! There is a short canopy you can take over a pond and also a hanging-bridge. The park has much more room to spend the whole day and even do a Barbecue. Just to be there, taking the environment in and breathing the chilly breeze was wonderful. Their cafeteria and restaurant were closed (again... recent storms) so we brought water with us and lunched until later in Coban. We completely recommend the experience!!!

I found it quite amazing to discover this park in the middle of Coban. It is only accessable by hiking/walking paths, so you will need some good shoes. It is quiet and full of nature, and near the city downtown.
