Travertine terraces often have a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, and cream-colored varieties. Because of this and because of the biochemical composition of the water, these pools usually have wonderful shades of different colors. 1. Semuc Champey Pools, Guatemala link Semuc Champey is a beautiful series of small ponds and pools on a natural land bridge that crosses the Cahabon River. It is located in the Municipality of Lanquin, Alta Verapaz. link The Cahabon River submerges itself at the entrance of Semuc Champey and resurfaces about 400 meters (1,300 ft) later after it passes this natural limestone bridge suspended with beautiful crystal clear ponds.

It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the town of Denizli, 20 km away. link Tourism is and has been a major industry.

Besides being a beautifully scenic spot, the Baishuitai is also the birthplace of Dongba culture of the Naxi Minority Group. [link, map] 6.

The first spring contains very salty water that gathers in a small natural pool; its water is considered to have medical effects, especially as a cure for rheumatism and some types of skin diseases and skin conditions. The second spring has a sour taste and is predominately orange mainly due to the large iron oxide sediments at its outlet. [link, map] 8.

The Egerszalók pools contain water rich in calcium, magnesium, and hydrocarbonate minerals. [link, map]
