Beautiful clear water pools! We arrived at 9.30 on a Tuesday, so we had the place to ourselves for the first hour, then the crowds started to turn up! Apparently weekends are really crowded! Surrounded by beautiful mountains, whilst the sun beat down on us. Lovely snacks and drinks available. Incredible how hard the indigenous people work on the steep hills growing every fruit and vegetable you can imagine!

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!!!
