Semuc Park



1        We left our backpacks on the camping site and just after walked to Semuc Park and we found it extraordinary, but a bit too crowded. It was a lot of small waterfalls, cascades full of water in planty shades of green. We could swim on it, jump, etc. We also hiked a bit, and could see all the cascades from few hundreds metres. It looked amazing, waterfalls surrounded bu an jungle. We had to leave the Park pretty early and we couldn’t stay longer, even though there is just a some reservation in the mountains. Actually we don’t like this policy, and its pretty common in Central America – guardians like to control who is in, and don’t allow you to stay longer, even if there are only waterfalls, mountains, etc – nothing to steal or break. It is different than in Europe and surprised us a bit, cause we were always told, that in Latin America or Asia lot of things are bad organized, nobody controls it well, etc...But we realized a lot of times, that even if some stuff, infrastructure, etc are not perfect  the whole system to control your visit in some places, taking money from you, doesn’t allow you to see anything more than they want you to see – this is organized way better than in Europe. But w don’t wanna complain – it was still worth to visit it, even if some elements of organization were annoing.
