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.

Great guide but largely over priced - you can get cheaper through sorting in town once you arrive. Stayed almost three hours at aqua azul and didn’t get back until gone 7.30pm.

It’s waterfall after waterfall and so expansive. There are multiple places to swim as well as a rope swing that we used to jump in. Lots of vendors and food. You can easily spend the day at the falls.

Some context to understand where I'm coming from. I love the outdoors and hiking. On trips I look for natural wonders to experience in as much of a natural state as can be found. Going with guides in as small a party as possible. On this trip we had a tourist van packed with 20 people. The seats in the van are made for people who are small to average size. Forget being comfortable if you're taller than 5'7" and not slender. Misol-Ha Falls was our first stop, 30 minutes is all we had to walk to the falls get through the throngs of people and get back. Disappointing to say the least. Essentially this is just a park and the commercialization diminishes the waterfall. Next stop Agua Azul Spectacular waterfall surrounded by vendors upon vendors upon vendors. Again I was hoping to hike a trail and come upon this wonder. So commercialized it's just been turned into a park. We had more time here, 2 hours, but, the experience was just not what I had hoped for. I would not recommend this tour. For the price you get to ride in an uncomfortable van, are rushed around and in my opinion you're just hanging out at markets set up by waterfalls.Tra tutti i siti archeologici è il più bello che abbia visto nel nostro viaggio on the road da Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Tabasco e Chiapas. Molto emozionante entrare li e vedere le rovine mangiate dalla giungla. Si capisce solo dal vivo, in foto non si può capire.

Moderate hiking at both sites. The vendor’s tour guide at Palenque, Jose, was very knowledgeable and gifted at fleshing out the history with the ruins.The bus on the way to the waterfalls was extremely hot, they promised an airconditioned van, but the airconditioning didn’t work.
