Stop At: Zona Arqueologica de Palenque, Carretera a Palenque- Zona Archaeologica Km. 8, Palenque 29960 Mexico
La ciudad de Palenque fue fundada en 1567 por Fray Pedro Lorenzo de la Nada, quien en 1573 obsequió a la comunidad palencana tres campanas como símbolo de la fundación de su pueblo; de estas campanas en la actualidad únicamente se conserva la más grande, en la iglesia de la ciudad, y es considerada como el único testimonio de la fundación.
La zona arqueológica de Palenque, ubicada a tan solo 8km de la ciudad que lleva el mismo nombre, ha sido y es considerado el centro ceremonial más importante de la cultura Maya.
Mantiene una temperatura promedio anual de 26°C, con lluvias torrenciales durante el verano que no opacan las sorprendentes imágenes de templos y edificios explorados desde el siglo XIX y que datan de un período clásico de entre 400 y 700 DC. Entre sus construcciones más importantes se mencionan El Palacio, distinguido por su torre que sobresale del resto de la edificaciones; el Templo del Sol, el de la Cruz y el de la Cruz Foliada, que constituye un conjunto que rodea a la Plaza del Sol, así como el misterioso Templo de las Inscripciones, en el que se descubrió en 1952, la tumba del Rey Pakal, en un sarcófago bellamente tallado y con el ajuar funerario del antiguo gobernante de la Ciudad, quien mandó construir este edificio para que funcionara como su tumba sagrada.

I went with this agency in 2 tours and i was very pleased: easy going communications, trustworthy, super drivers and the best well prepared and pleasant tour guides English speakers i ever met. Ask for Julio, Sergio or Elias they are the best!

Booked with otisatravel through our hostal. Leaving from San Cristobal around 4 a.m, tie your seat belt and hang on tight. This trip was really not comfy, if you have back issue or can't seat for more that two hours, don't try it. The time allowed at each site is more than enough, and they are beautiful places. Is just the whole trip who's tiring and make the whole experience not that enjoyable in the end. We choose to stay in palenque after the tour, that's an option they gave you before you leave, and I would recommend doing that ! The one who went back to san cristobal left around 5 p.m from palenque with 8 hours ahead... That means they probably arrvived in San Cristobal around midnight, if they arrived ^^ Overall, that's a good tour if crazy driving on mountains road for 8 hours do not scares you.
The sites exceeded our expectations. The food was good. However, the van was uncomfortable. The road was awful with hundreds of speed bumps that slowed progress to a crawl. The driver made no effort to modulate his language for the Spanish impaired. Fly to Palenque!

The tour has too much destinations. The Cascades are great, but if you want to take a swim you'll be in a hurry and everything will be too fast, since the trip to Palenque is almost 5h30 driving with curves and topes. When we arrived in Palenque the driver, that is the only person from the San...
The tour has too much destinations. The Cascades are great, but if you want to take a swim you'll be in a hurry and everything will be too fast, since the trip to Palenque is almost 5h30 driving with curves and topes. When we arrived in Palenque the driver, that is the only person from the San Cristobal Agency present all day, told us that there would not be a guide in English for whom we payed an extra 20 on Viator even though we had asked repeatedly during the trip. So we got very angry and asked again firmly, and they gave us, after a bit of wait, a young local guy that didn't seemed an official guide but in the end worked well because was guiding only the two of us. You'll spend a long time on the van, and when you'll arrive in Palenque, that is absolutely amazing, you'll have only one hour to see all the ruins and do the guided tour, that is superficial and not exhaustive, since you'll have time only to see the first temple and the Palace. And more, when you'll arrive in Palenque you'll be asked for the Wlaking in the Selva for extra Pesos for all the group.
Finally, the tour is cheaper if booked in San Cristobal in one of the hundreds of agencies.
Incredible experience. Cheaper to buy at the office in San Cristóbal than through Viator, fyi.

The road is simply awful. Up and down, left and right.. with lots of holes in the asfalt & bumps every 200mt ( no kidding). As mentioned drivers must atop and accelerate every time .. A) every travel agency does exactly the same ( leave at 4am, have breakfast at the same place & drivers drive basically one after the other, all at the same time). Do not waste time to find the "best one". B) take a place in palanque if you dont want to experience 11h+ of drive in tiny vans. We regret we didn't.. C) do NOT have heavy breakfast or lunch.this would result in an nightmare for you and the rest of the group you ate travelling with. D) waterfalls are not as described. Quite poor actulally. E) PALANQUE is beautiful but very small. 2h with a good guide are enough
