After our time amazing time in Flores and
Tikal, we board a shuttle for our eight our trip to Lanquin. We had chosen
Lanquin as it was very close to some amazing sites, including sumac champey.
After a long bus ride we arrive in Lanquin to the Zephyr Hostel, which is based
on a hilltop overlooking an amazing river where tubing is done every day.
Lanquin as a town is small and there
are a minimal amount of extra curricular activities to do once you are there,
so your options typically are tubing down the river, the sumac champey tour,
having a look around town or grabbing a book whilst lying in a hammock at the
hostel or by the river (just be careful as you are in the jungle and we seen a
snake at the river in the first minute we were there).
The Zephyr Lodge was great, with
comfortable beds for 65q per night, “hot open-faced showers overlooking a
million dollar view (according to Amy)” and great food for a reasonable hostel
price with a great Sunday roast (you can even share a meal between two as its
that big).
The following morning we board the back of
a truck (like cattle) with 20 plus people and make our way down a bumpy road to
Sumac Champey. Sumac Champey is yet again another amazing place we have crossed
in our travels. For $20u.s per person it
allowed us to enter each site in sumac champed which includes the candle light cave tour for thirty minutes through water falls, a 45 minute hike which ended overlooking the fresh
water pools and the opportunity to lounge in fresh water fed sumac champey
pools for an hour. such an amazing time.
Well this is only a short one :) Until next Time
