SEMUC CHAMPEY

9km S of Lanquín
Central Guatemala
nr Cobán

Semuc Champey is famed for its great natural limestone bridge, 300m (990ft) long, on top of which is a stepped series of pools with cool, flowing river water good for swimming. Though this bit of paradise is difficult to reach, the beauty of its setting and the turquoise perfection of the pools make it arguably the loveliest spot in the country.
