Lanquin / Semuc Champey

The next 2 day stop was a small town called Lanquin, located in the heart of Guatemala.

While I didn't find much to do here, hence the short stop over, the tour of Semuc Champey Park was an amazing experience.

This tour started with scuttling through water cave only with the help of candle light. Although it was incredibly sketch with zero health and safety precautions, it was a thrilling experience.
