Enroute to Semuc Champey
Beautiful Pools in Semuc
Our Group at Lunch
| Met Claudia (lady our age from Argentina!) driving overland from Pategonia to (hopefully) Alaska on her own at 60 w/ her dog. Tour incl Beau from Ohio on 1st overseas experience. Countryside steep mtns, coffee, corn, and cardamom plants (all shipped to India/Asia)much clear cutting/wood collecting on steep/cleared hillsides. Road 2 hours to Lanquin-last 11 km on updown gravel 1 lane road twist turning. Caves were a bust, very dead, dirty, brown stalagmites/tites. However, 10 km further our visit to Semuk Champey (local Indian dialect for ¨place where river comes form underground") was most impressive. Great hiking excercise up & down & up 400 mtrs to Mirador and then after working up the sweat a refreshing dip in the pools! Semuc Champey Info |
