Semuc Champey & Lanquín - Grandad explores Guatemala’s remote interior

Join me as I venture deep into Guatemala’s remote interior to explore the stunning Semuc Champey and Lanquín! This episode of Globetrotting Grandad highlights why Lanquín is truly off the beaten path, requiring an adventurous journey to reach—but the rewards are spectacular! I start with breathtaking views from the Mirador viewpoint, looking down on the surreal turquoise pools of Semuc Champey, one of Guatemala’s most beautiful natural wonders. Then, I take a dip in these crystal-clear limestone pools, a hidden paradise in the jungle. After that, I explore Lanquin, a small town that feels a world away from Guatemala’s more famous destinations like Antigua, Flores, and Lake Atitlán. Here, I meet the Kekchi Mayan people, experiencing their traditions, vibrant markets, and daily life in this remote, untouched part of the country.
