Staircase of pools. Staircase of turquoise pools

While it’s snowy and cold in much of the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year, December and January are popular months to visit Guatemala, where the skies are clear, but everything is still green and lush from autumn rains. Nestled in the Guatemalan jungle, Semuc Champey is a hotspot for adventurous tourists. Its name means “where the river hides under the stones” in Qʼeqchiʼ, a Mayan language spoken by local communities.

Our image showcases the 980ft natural limestone bridge that crosses over the Cahabón River. On top of the bridge lies a series of stepped turquoise pools, it's a paradise of swimming holes for those intrepid enough to reach this remote location. The word is out that central Guatemala is an up-and-coming tourist destination with its stunning natural areas, Mayan ruins and highland regions. Maybe it’s time to plan a trip?
