Semuc Champey Stepped Pools in Alta Verapa, Guatemala

Hidden in the jungle in the department of Alta Verapaz, in Guatemala, about 11 km south of the Q’eqchi’ Maya town of Lanquín, is a stunning natural wonder. Semuc Champey, which means "sacred water" in the Mayan Kekchi language, is a natural limestone bridge about 300 meters wide under which passes the Cahabon River. Atop the bridge is a series of stepped pools filled with runoff from the Río Cahabon, and many are connected to one another by small waterfalls. The water is brilliant turquoise.
