    We cannot go to Lanquin without visiting the famous Semuc Champey, a place of natural turquoise swimming pools in the middle of the jungle. After breakfast, hear about the history of the region before we travel there for the day so that before we visit the sites you can learn how sacred it is for the Mayans.
