Guatemala: KanBa River Caves of Semuc Champey


Like our visit to Semuc Champey, we had no idea what we were getting into prior to leaving for our tour. This point is echoed throughout most of our Guatemalan journeys. The KanBa Caves are only a short walk from the metal bridge that spans

Cahabón River.
Note: We didn’t have a waterproof camera to take pictures of the cave inside or outside. If you have pictures, or plan on visiting the caves, we would love to showcase your pictures on this post. Thank you!

After paying the entrance fee to the owner of the caves and the Inn Posada Las Marias, you meet the guide for the adventure. The guides are provided by the cave’s administration and you don’t have a choice. Each guide has a good understanding of the caves structure and hidden surface. This is important when you find yourself swimming in a cave with the potential to kick hidden rocks lurking below.
