Itinerary

  • Zona Arqueologica de Palenque

    After your pickup in Villahermosa, you will travel to the Archaeological site of Palenque. Located in the middle of lush vegetation, the UNESCO World Heritage site served as one of the most important ceremonial centers of the Maya culture during the Classic period. Almost 200 years before the pre-Columbian ruins were discovered in the 18th century, the nearby city was named by the Spanish — a literal translation of the Ch’ol word otulún, which means fenced or fortified place.

  • Cascadas de Agua Azul

The larger waterfall may be as high as 6 meters (20 feet). The perfect place to make beautiful photos. If the weather allows, you will have time for swimming in the crystal falls water.

Palenque Mayan site was phenomenal

Published on Mar, 2024

To wander among the huge temples and pyramids with a personal tour guide was awesome. Getting to go into the red queens tomb was also a unique experience. The personal car ride to the site from Villahermosa was also extremely interesting and informative.

Fabulous trip!

Had a great trip to Palenque and Agua Azul. Juan Carlos was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and informative.

Safe, Reliable and Personal Service

Published on Jun, 2022

I was very pleased with all aspects of this package. The company corresponded shortly after I booked it which made me feel secure about the trip. Our driver Reyes was on time and picked us up promptly at 7:00am from our hotel in Villahermosa. Very comfortable ride...however....be prepared for a long day on the road. It simply takes a while to get to Palenque. The roads are all good. Tolls are covered by the tour. Entrance to all the parks are included, as well as a guide at Palenque. We spent 2 hours getting to Palenque. About 2+ hours at the ruins. Our driver recommended a very nice restaurant in Palenque town and waited for us to finish, then drove us on to the Agua Azul Falls(Cascades). That was another 1 1/2 hours due to all of the mountain curves and toppes. Our driver waited for us at the Falls while we swam and hiked the area. Then drove us home (almost 3 hours) back to our hotel at 7:30pm. It's a long day so just be prepared. Everything was fabulous! Totally recommend this group. Safe. Good people.

A great guide!

Our driver (Reyes?) was FANTASTIC!! Not only was he affable, he was so accommodating and patient - not rushing us as we enjoyed exploring both the ruins and the city of Palenque. That guy is definitely an asset to your company! I would absolutely book a tour with you again, especially if I could somehow arrange for the same guide.

Perfect Day

The driver Reyes was excellent and Mingo our guide was exceptional. The day for both of us was perfect
