A wide variety of pyramids, temples and sculptures have all been found at this famous Mayan archaeological site.

Fabulous. This site is quite extensive and diverse. Do look for the Tower Palace (which seems quite unusual). Go inside and explore some of the tunnels. (There are bats, if you want to look for them.) There is a very interesting quadrangle with the Temples of the Sun and Cross. Dramatic. There is also a ball court although that takes a bit of imagination. This site is a major attraction - so get there early

A must visit archaeological site in Mexico!! Located in the heart of the 'selva', it's worth taking a guide to fully grasp the majesty of the Mayan civilisation in Palenque. Our favourite :)

A beautiful spot with some spectacular waterfalls & swimming spots. A great place to spend 90mins to break up the drive between Palenque & San Cristóbal

The waterfall is amazing. We loved walking behind it. It can get slippery, but it’s worth it and beautiful. It’s a short taxi ride to the falls, or you can take a collectivo to the entrance and a taxi from there to the falls. There is also a restaurant for lunch.

We loved it! Behind every corner we found new waterfalls and nice place to swim. It's a perfect day to chill, relax and swim there. We saw one restaurant around there and public toilet. Bring water shoes, some places can be slippery and muddy. Bring a bag for your garbage and don't leave it there. So sad there was garbage put in between tree roots etc. Keep the envirement and these amazing waterfalls clean. It's also very adventurous to walk around there!
