The turquoise color rivals.This beautiful natural pools of central Guatemala are fast becoming the must-see hotspot in Guatemala. I recommend visiting the mirador first.Not only will you want to take a dip after the semi-grueling climb, but you also won’t feel rushed to leave the pools.The climb to the mirador takes approximately 30 minutes. Not only is it easy to visit Semuc Champey without a tour but there’s no need to hire a guide either.
This time is split between wooden and stone stairs. Rarely will you get to walk on a level surface.
You will be surrounded by lush jungle, but virtually no wildlife. Luckily, there aren’t even mosquitoes to bother you. As you reach the wooden mirador platform, you will be captured by the beauty of Semuc Champey in all its glory.
