Backpacking Guatemala?
Semuc Champey is a must. It takes a while to get there, but you won’t be disappointed. I’m planning on going down there this later this year for my 3rd visit. It gets more exciting and beautiful every time. Here are a few places you need to visit. Lago Atitlan (a lake surrounded by 3 volcanoes. There are several villages around the lake, the main tourist spot is Panajachel. Another is San Lucas Toliman. En route to San Lucas Toliman, you can stop by a hill where the car or anything will roll UPHILL. http://www.geo.mtu.edu/~raman/images/pic… Semuc Champey (a series of lagoons formed on a rock ledge over river that goes underground for 1/4 mile). http://www.travelblog.org/Central-Americ… Tikal (Mayan Ruins) http://mayaruins.com/tik
