Las Victorias, National park in Cobán, Guatemala

Las Victorias is a national park on the north-western outskirts of Cobán, Alta Verapaz, covering 82 hectares managed by the National Forestry Institute (INAB). It began as a finca bought in the mid-19th century by the coffee grower Jules Rossignon. A dirt path strewn with fallen leaves runs between tall trees, their slender trunks and green foliage lining both sides.

The land was a finca bought in the mid-19th century by Jules Rossignon, a coffee grower described in Guatemalan sources as Belgian and in English ones as French. It was designated a national park in 1980, not in the 1980s, and its 82 hectares are managed by the National Forestry Institute (INAB).
