13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Semuc Champey Falls
This is the view of the bottom waterfall at Cemuc Champey, Guatemala. I had to bribe some locals to walk down a closed path to get to these falls. I hiked for about 30 minutes until I reached what the ancient Mayans considered a place of cleansing. After climbing over several boulders, I sat for almost an hour and waited for the sun go drop behind the falls.
