Semuc Champey in Guatemala is an absolutely amazing place to visit. Its relaxing, beautiful, authentic and original. Explained briefly its a river that runs through the beautiful mountains and the water forms both small waterfalls and a handful of big pools with fish and with the possibility to swim and relax.

It turned out to be the right decision, cause New Orleans was fantastic. We stayed in a hostel called AAE Bourbon House, and that was the perfect place to stay for us. A lot of the other guests in the hostel were there for the same reason as us (live music and bee...
