Natural Paradise of Alta and Baja Verapaz


The misty and pine covered mountains of the Alta Verapaz region and the hot, dry-tropic climate of Baja Verapaz make for beautiful and divers sceneries in this central-eastern region of Guatemala. Imagine yourself swimming with the fish in the natural pools of Semuq Champey or bravely exploring the many secrets of the caves in this area. Hike through lush cloud forests to see some of the more than 50 different types of orchids and bromeliads that call the valley their home and look out for spider monkey, tigrillos or the rare Quetzal bird. Heaven on earth for nature lovers and those looking for adventure.



REGIONAL ATTRACTIONS


This region consists of the two territorial divisions Alta Verapaz and Baja Verapaz. Alta Verapaz has a cold climate and is generally covered by a thick fog which makes for the unique cloud forest vegetation. There are several small lakes, beautiful landscapes and huge caves or caverns. Alta Verapaz offers several tourist attractions for ecotourism and adventure. The climate and terrain in Baja Verapaz in parts is almost desert-like, but it also holds various lovely rivers and waterfalls and is home to the rare Quetzal bird.
