The journey begins in Antigua, one of Guatemala's most charming and historically rich cities. It is located in the Sacatepéquez department, about 25 km from Guatemala's capital, Guatemala City.
Antigua is known for its well-preserved colonial-era architecture, colorful buildings, and cobblestone streets, as well as the dramatic views of volcanoes that add a unique atmosphere to the city.

Lanquín
We will visit one of the most beautiful places in the world, called Semuc Champey.
Semuc Champey means "the hidden place of the river" in the Mayan Q'eqchi' language, as in this natural wonder, the Cahabón River flows underground for about 300 meters, forming a stone bridge above it, where several colorful pools are created, in which we can swim.
This is a great hike for those who wish to immerse themselves in pristine nature, where some of the world's oldest cacao trees and large cardamom bushes grow, and Guatemala's purest waters flow.
