Visiting the waterfalls and the Palenque ruins when you're in Chiapas is something you can't miss. It is a long and tiring day, the road is bumpy, and yes you will have to wake up early, but it is unforgettable. I had been to Chichen Itza, but I personally was more amazed by the Palenque ruins. When you reach the Agua Azul waterfall, walk up the path to swim in the upwards pools. I'd recommend waiting to get to San Cristobal de las Casas to book the tour with one of the many operators on the main street to avoid paying commission fees.
