The 15 Best Semuc Champey Trips

16 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $35

Turquoise pools on top of a limestone bridge, with a river running underneath in the dark. Getting there is the hard part, so these 15 are compared on road time, how many nights are attached and whether the caves and the tubing are included.

Review of Semuc Champey from Guatemala City, with cave visits, Cobán, private transport, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“The Semuc Champey waterfalls were absolutely beautiful, I was able to explore a mini cave and swim in the various lakes and see the underground river. Coming from Guatemala City, it was in fact a 6-7 hour drive and I think the wiser decision would be to stay the night in Semuc Champey because that totaled almost 14 hours of driving to only explore the waterfalls for 3 hours…very long day.

Review of the 3-day Semuc Champey and Kamba Caves trip from Guatemala City, with hostel stay, transport, costs, strengths, and cautions.

“The hostal Oasis was beautiful, great location, easy check in and free wifi in the common areas; however, the service was below average, (there was no communication misunderstandings since I’m fluent in spanish) it took forever to receive our food, drinks from the limited menu (what was included in our bundle). The tour to the caves was chaotic, overcrowded unsafe at times and no history of the caves or place was given. We ended up doing our own research and come to find out that these caves were believed to be the heart of heaven and I can see why, they were absolutely breath taking. He best part of our…”
