From Lake Atitlan we began our long journey to Semuc Champey for over 10 hours, starting at 8 am. We just didn’t know that our journey would be so painful, when a group of 10 uncontrolled Israeli entered our shuttle, screaming the whole way and showing no respect for the people around, they seemed more like a group of 12 years old children. Nobody deserves that!

But we survived till Semuc Champey, but it was already too late to have any evaluation of the place. The next day we did the tour and even with the day ranging between good and bad weather, wow… We were impressed with the beauty of the place. A unique formation of rocks caused by years of erosion with emerald water and a river that passes under the earth forming really strong waterfalls, all settled in the middle of a canyon of pure green nature which makes the place magical.

After seeing the beautiful view from the lookout we went swimming in the beautiful natural pools where the fishes come to eat the dead skin of our feet, free massage.

Then we did the tour in the K’anba cave, which was so cool. We spent one hour walking through the water path in total darkness with candle lights in our hands and in some places we had to swim, go up a waterfall with a rope or take stairs. A small and fun adventure.

We ended the day tubing on the river. But it was nothing too exciting, just relaxing.

We spent the night at our hotel right in the middle of that beautiful nature in an open cabin from where we could hear all sounds of nature.

The next day we set off for another shuttle, this time to Rio Dulce. All the transportation we did to get here was really worth it.
