We arrived in Lanquin a couple of days ago, about 5 hours south from Flores, and we´re staying at an amazing place in the loft of a thatched cabana. The location is really special, all around us are green hills and a river runs right past us. The food here is really good too, and every few days they throw an all you can eat BBQ followed by a boozy party.
Yesterday we took a tour to nearby caves and a series of pools called Semuc Champey. Ive never really been caving so it was quite an experience, especially since our only source of light was a candle that each of us carried. The guide lead deeper into the caves climbing up ladders, squeezing between rocks and swimming with one arm whilst the other carried the candle. It was super good. It was pitch back too, and felt pretty creepy to be at the end of the line of people with nothing but blackness behind me.
After that we had half an hours hike up to a view point, and then back down again to the pools. They were cool, crystal clear and the perfect way to cool off after the hike.
Today is a lazy day, but tomorrow we´ll be taking some inner tubes down the river then doing a night tour of some more caves to see the bats. Then on to Antigua.
