Semuc Champey Natural Pools

Highlight • Natural Monument

To get to the sinter terraces, it is advisable to switch to a four-wheel drive vehicle in Lanquin. After about 50 minutes you will reach the chargeable entrance. You should have sturdy shoes, swimwear and bathing shoes with you. On the way to the terraces you come to a junction on the left. This leads to a platform with excellent views. The ascent is very difficult. The reward is the view and then a refreshing bath in the sinter terraces of Semuc Champey. The pools are fed by calcareous springs.
