Highlights
  • Zona Arqueologica de Palenque - 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.

Manage your expectations. - 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.
