Things to know about Semuc Champey

Semuc Champey is a hidden gem deep in the Guatemalan jungle. Known for its natural limestone bridge and crystal-clear pools, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and backpackers. The area is remote, so the journey is long, but the destination is worth it. Plan to stay at least one night, as it’s not ideal for same-day returns. Pack light, bring your swimwear, and be ready for a bit of hiking to reach the pools.
