About Semuc Champey
One of Guatemala's most breathtaking natural wonders — a series of stepped, crystal-clear turquoise pools formed atop a 300-meter natural limestone bridge over which the Cahabón River flows underground. Located near the Q'eqchi' Maya town of Lanquín, it is renowned as one of the most beautiful natural sites in Central America.
