8.8 Mountain (& valley) villages

Lanquín is hard to reach, because it is located so remotely. The tourist industry already realised the potential of the little tow, but it is still possible to experience the real rural life of Guatemala there. Especially on the market that takes place every two days (more or less).

Apart from tubing the ice cold river(s) and exploring the city it is also possible to go an a cacao plantation or to hike to Semuc Champey, the natural pools for which the region is famous.

My recommendations Go there before it is completely touristy.Read more
