Cool off in the jungle-shrouded Swimming hole of Semuc Champey
GUATEMALA // What sounds more refreshing in the tropics than a dip in a shady pool in the middle of the jungle? How about taking a dip in a series of perfectly stepped pools linked by a series of natural rock bridges, and with colours that glitter from turquoise to emerald? This is what Semuc Champey offers, at the end of a rough rainforest rod, the bumps of which make the water seem even sweeter. Dive in and you'll quickly understand why many Guatemalans consider Semuc Champey to be the most beautiful spot in the country.
