Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Q'eqchi' Communities

Lanquín is a Q'eqchi' Maya town — the tourist hostels exist alongside a living indigenous community. Be respectful in the town, ask before photographing people, and remember you are a guest in their homeland.

Leave No Trace

Semuc Champey's beauty depends on visitors treating it with respect. Pack out all rubbish, do not leave anything in the pools or jungle, and avoid using sunscreen in the pools (it damages the limestone ecosystem). Use biodegradable products.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Semuc Champey travel guide.
