The foothills of the Cuchumatan range are the defining geological feature of Alta Verapaz. This region, one of the greenest and wettest, extends northward along the altiplano. The
administrative center of the department, Cobán, also known as the Imperial City, is an excellent point from which to visit the nearby towns and tourist attractions. Cobán's cathedral and convent constitute a
magnificent example of colonial architecture.
