Somewhere in the middle of Guatemala, there is a beautiful place called Semuc Champey. It is surrounded by hills covered with thick forests, cut by clean and refreshing rivers, and drilled by mysterious caves inhabited by thousands of bats. There were also scary spider-like creatures in one of these caves, which made Marta stay at home, of course. But probably the most amazing place was the series of several calm cascades with pools of crystal clear water in between. Marta was exploring their underwater part (she is still addicted to diving). I was admiring the interesting engineering design of Nature – most of the river water was actually passing under the pools, forming a 300m long bridge!
Greetings to Olga and Liran!, with whom we spent several pleasant days in the region.
