Join us as we travel 6:30 hours from Guatemala City to Lanquin, 1 hour on a 4x4, 1:30 hour of hiking, to see one of the most incredible natural phenomenons in all of Guatemala: Semuc Champey

Semuc Champey is a natural monument located near the town of Lanquín in the Alta Verapaz department of Guatemala. It is renowned for its series of stepped, turquoise-colored pools and a natural limestone bridge under which the Cahabón River flows. Here's a bit more detail:

Limestone Bridge and Pools: The most notable feature of Semuc Champey is the natural limestone bridge, which is approximately 300 meters long. On top of this bridge are a series of stepped pools filled with clear, turquoise water. These pools are popular for swimming and relaxing due to their stunning color and tranquil environment.

Cahabón River: The Cahabón River flows beneath the limestone bridge and re-emerges at the end of the bridge, creating a dramatic and beautiful natural scene.

Location and Accessibility: Semuc Champey is located in a remote area, which can make it a bit challenging to access. Visitors often travel from the nearby town of Lanquín, which can be reached by bus from larger cities like Cobán or Guatemala City. From Lanquín, the journey to Semuc Champey typically involves a rugged road and can take about an hour by 4x4 vehicle.

Natural Beauty and Biodiversity: The area is surrounded by lush tropical forest, home to a variety of flora and fauna. The scenic beauty and the relative remoteness of the area contribute to its appeal as an eco-tourism destination.

Activities: In addition to swimming in the pools, visitors to Semuc Champey can explore the surrounding jungle, take guided tours, and visit nearby caves such as the K’an Ba Cave, which involves wading and swimming through a series of chambers.

Semuc Champey is considered one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Guatemala and is a popular destination for travelers seeking adventure and natural beauty.
