Guatemala Guide

The Verapaces

Arrival

Transportes Escobar y Monja Blanca, one of Guatemala's best bus services, operates half-hourly departures between Guatemala City and its terminal in Cobán at 2 Calle 3–77, Zona 4 ( 7951 1793). The main terminal for local destinations is 2km north of the plaza.

The website www.cobanav.net is well worth consulting for info on the region. For expert guidance and advice about getting to very remote areas of the Verapaces, contact Proyecto Eco-Quetzal.
