Semuc Champey consists of a series of naturally terraced pools branching off the Cahabon River and cascading through the forest. Nearby is a limestone cave through which the river runs. Declared a national monument, Semuc Champey is considered to be the most beautiful place in the department of Cobán, Alta Verapaz. |
Semuc Champey is called the eighth wonder of the world. The first time you Semuc Champey is truly breathtaking. Semuc is a series of natural sparkling turquoise pools in the middle of the jungle, that form a bridge over a buried river which shoots out the other side. If it's hard to imagine, that's because it is just so unbelievable it beggars description. It's worth the detour from the main backpacker trail.
This is a beautiful set of swimming holes with cascading waterfalls that runs for about 1km. Underground runs a strong river which cuts into the limestone and exits back above ground.
