  • This is not a travel vlog. It's a video to help future travelers to Guatemala to plan their trip around Semuc Champey.
    I'm posting this video to show the state of the road from Lanquin to Semuk in March 2024.
    This video was shot from the back of a communal transport pick-up truck.
    For most of the road, the conditions were ok for any vehicle, but the last part, after crossing the bridge, has a small uphill part, which is very narrow, and it wouldn't have been possible without a 4WD with higher clearance.
    But there was a small parking spot just before the bridge, and you could walk from there to the entrance.
    The local authorities are actively working on the road. The first 6 km were already paved in March 2024, and they were working on the other half of the road.
    The entrance to Semuk Natural Park closes at 5 PM, and then you have to get out of the park by 6 PM. Also, after 5 PM, they start working on the road, so you might have to wait a bit to get the road cleared so you can pass. They might not allow you to pass with your car if you start driving too late.
    My personal recommendation is to ask the hotel you're staying at about the current state of the road or ask the locals working on the road or providing communal transport.
