5.00Myself and my partner visited Casa Sahil on our trip to the Semuc Champey area. We had an amazing time there, with a lovely walk in the local rural areas. The guide Jose was great and very knowledgeable about the local cultures and traditions. We had dip in the river after, followed by some great tacos to finish it off! Highly recommend!

5.00Casa Sahil is a hidden gem in the jungle near Semuc Champey! The drinks were great, we got the margarita and pina colada, perfect for after tubing down the river on a hot day. The food was great too and a surprisingly good selection for such a rural area, we tried the chicken tacos and cheese board! José who worked there was so friendly and told us so much about the local area, we did the hiking tour to the viewpoint up the mountain - amazing view of río Cahabón and surrounding area. Will definitely be back for the other tours (and tacos)!!
