Parque Nacional Laguna de Lachuá
Located in the northwest corner of the Alta Verapaz, this 9,712-hectare (24,000-acre) national park has a stunningly beautiful turquoise lake as its centerpiece. The lake, more than 5km (3 miles) across at its widest point and more than 219m (720 ft.) deep, gets its majestic blue hue from its high sulfur content and is surrounded by lush forests of tropical flora and fauna.
Camping is available, and while there are bathrooms, showers, and basic cooking facilities, you'll have to bring your own food and drinking water. All of the tour operations in Cobán offer guided multiday trips here.
