We spent Thursday night at a place called El Recreo near the small town of Lanquin. We had to travel 11 km on a dirt one-lane road to get there. It was at a lower elevation and very hot and humid.
We spent Friday morning at a delightful place called Semuc Champey. It consisted of a half dozen pools of crystal clear water in the jungle. It was gorgeous.
We spent the morning swimming and exploring.
Most of the river flows into an underground cave, while a small portion flows on top of a limestone 'bridge', creating the pools.
It was the clearest water! And a beautiful turquoise color. The kids decided that it was one of the best places we've visited in Guatemala.
