Lanquin



1     Our next destination was town Lanquin and attraction, which is situated pretty close to Lanquin – Semuc Chapmey waterfalls. To get there we need to go to the central part of the state. We looked and the map, and thought that it will last 2-3 hours. We didn’t know yet that Guataleman transportation and roads are way worse than Mexican. Firstly we tried to hitchhike, but than we realized, that id doesn’t work well in Guatemale – also maybe because there were almost no cars on the road in that part of country. Finally it lasted maybe 8 hours untril we reach Coban – which was still 2or 3 hours from Lanquin. We stayed in funny hotel called California (costed abous 6 euro for 2 beds room ;) ) and next day took a bus to Lanquin. We tried to hitchhike and ahain we didn’t have any lucky. The last part of road to Lanquin was crazy – unpaved road going down and down to the bottom of the valley...I wouldn’t go there in the rainy season, it must be terrible. Anyway – we went to Lanquin, than find some transportation to hostel which was placed maybe 30min of walk from Semuc. We decided to visit the Semuc, than spend there and coming back to Coban and then further, to the Antigua Guatemala.
