"Expats in Coban often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone speaks English. The pace of life can also be a challenge, as it is typically slower than what many expats are used to, which can lead to frustrations when trying to get things done. Additionally, the local customs and traditions may be difficult to understand and adapt to, particularly for those who come from very different cultural backgrounds. The lack of certain amenities and services that expats may be accustomed to in their home countries can also be a challenge. Lastly, safety and security can be a concern, as crime rates can be high in certain areas," remarked another expat in Coban, Guatemala.
