Itinerary

Zona Arqueologica de Palenque

After pickup from your hotel in Palenque city, 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. On arrival, follow your guide and listen to informative commentary. You'll visit the Temple of the Inscriptions, the site's largest pyramid where the tomb of the great Maya ruler Pakal was found. See the royal palace and the Temple of the Foliated Cross. If there is enough time, you'll also explore cultural exhibits at the museum (closed on Monday). (Approximate duration from 2 to 3 hours)

2 hours 30 minutes
Cascada de Roberto Barrios

Immerse yourself in the unspoiled nature and unparalleled beauty of the Roberto Barrios Waterfall, a hidden treasure in the heart of Chiapas, surrounded by a lush tropical jungle, with an impressive series of waterfalls that offers a unique and authentic experience for lovers of adventure and tranquility. With its bright turquoise waters, you will be surprised by their clarity and beauty. Don't forget your swimsuit as its natural, stepped pools invite you to swim, jump off rocks and slide down natural slides formed by the river's current. Each level offers a new perspective and adventure.

Cool staff

Published on Jun, 2022

Very cool experience. The boat is open bar, however if you cannot swim they won't allow you to snorkel which sucks. Because usually everywhere else I go they at least allow you to snorkel with the life vest. The staff speaks both English and Spanish.
