What makes Palenque Site, swim Agua Azul & Misol-Ha waterfalls from Palenque a unique experience ?
After pickup from your hotel in Palenque city, you will travel to the Archaeological site of Palenque. 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.
Misol Ha has over 35 meters high, the sunning “sweeping water” empties into a deep calm pool at the base of jungle-covered cliffs.
