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.

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 be...

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!

A) every travel agency does exactly the same ( leave at 4am, have breakfast at the same place & drivers drive bas...
