What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Zona Arqueologica de Palenque, Carretera a Palenque- Zona Archaeologica Km. 8, Palenque 29960 Mexico
The archaeological zone of Palenque takes its name from the neighboring community founded at the end of the 16th century: Santo Domingo de Palenque. The last meaning, also of Spanish origin, means “Estacada” or “Empalizada”, which is a wooden fence that surrounds a site to protect it. It is possible that the natives kept in memory the existence of defensive works in the abandoned pre-Hispanic city. On the other hand, the place name comes from the Ch'ol language, referring to the Otulum stream which means “fortified houses” that crosses the archeological zone. Other names have also been used to refer to the old settlement: Na Chán "city of snakes", Ghochan "head or capital of snakes", Nacan, Ototiun "stone house" and Chocan "sculpted snake", among others. The local inhabitants know him by the name of the Otolum Creek, whose alternate meaning is "place of the fallen stones". Xhembobel-Moyos, name of an immediate town, was also used to designate the ruins.

Stop At: Cascadas de Misol-Ha, Carretera Ocosingo Reserva de la Biósfera Montes Azules, Palenque Mexico
The Misol-ha Waterfall as an attraction very close to the Z.A. From Palenque we find this beautiful waterfall, famous for the harmony that combines the elements of water and jungle. Waterfall of approximately 25 meters. high, which when falling, forms a large pool in which it is possible, with caution, to practice swimming.
This refreshing and beautiful place is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Chiapas and stage of films like "The Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger; for being immersed in a typical example of the high tropical rainforest of the Chiapaneca mountain range.

Stop At: Cascadas de Agua Azul, Reserva Especial de la Biosfera Cascadas Agua Azul, Palenque 29920 Mexico
The Agua Azul Waterfalls that has impressive turquoise blue waterfalls that form this wonderful natural resource. Its waterfalls are formed thanks to the tributaries of the Otulúm, Shumuljá and Tulijá river, forming not very deep canyons with vertical cliffs that give rise to its blue and white waterfalls. The waters have that beautiful blue color because of the carbonate salts that are dissolved. The vegetation is lush mountain jungle, in some parts it covers the river, it is common to see trunks of fallen petrified trees.
Duration: 2 hours

This trip is all about managing expectations. It is essentially just transport links between the attractions. We went to the ruins for 4 hours, there isn't any food there and you can buy water from the back of someones van. Be prepared to take a packed lunch as 4 hours is a long time, the attraction took me 2 hours to go round, you could spend longer if you climbed every temple. The instructions are given in Spanish so make sure you can speak a little. Next we went to Misol Ha and spent only 35 mins there - you can swim here and take photos of the waterfall - there is the option to buy food here I think (cash only). Lastly you go to Aguas Azules, lots of places here to eat and drink (take cash). The day we went the weather had been bad to the aguas weren't azul in fact they were marron. However it made no difference to me. We spent 4 hours here, would have been great had we been able to swim. The group was disappointed and had suggested maybe the trip should have been cancelled due to the weather.On a pris une guide en supplément. Les gérants du tour le propose sur place. Très intéressante. Il faut noter bcp de trajet entre les 3 points d'intérêt. 1h des ruines a misol ha 1h de misol ha a agual azul 1h30 pour rentrer

Nous avons opté pour le guide, ce qui est un plus, notamment s'il s'agit de votre premier site archéologique Maya. La Cascade et les chutes sont très cool pour se décontracter.
