Alta Verapaz is a region in the north-central part of Guatemala. Its capital, the city of Coban, is known for being the most remote coffee region in the country.
In contrast to the sunnier volcanic regions of Guatemala, Alta Verapaz is a subtropical rainforest with steady rainfall throughout the year. Coffee beans from this region are grown in limestone and clay soil, receive little direct sunlight, and the climate is colder relative to other regions of Guatemala.
