Itinerary
Coban
Known as the “Imperial City,” Cobán is the capital of Alta Verapaz and our gateway to the region. Its cool climate, traditional architecture, and tranquil atmosphere will transport you to a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Lanquin
A picturesque village nestled in the mountains, famous for being the gateway to Semuc Champey. From here, we will board a 4x4 vehicle that will take us on an adventurous journey, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery and local communities.
Semuc Champey
The crown jewel. The main destination! It is a natural limestone bridge over 300 meters long, under which the mighty Cahabón River flows. Above this bridge, a series of stunning turquoise natural pools are formed, perfect for swimming and relaxing in the middle of the jungle. It is one of the most photogenic natural wonders in Guatemala.
This river is the star of the entire adventure. Its force sculpted the landscape and created Semuc Champey. During your visit, you will not only see it from the viewpoint, but you will also have the opportunity to hear its roar and, depending on the season, even swim in its refreshing waters near the pools.
