Exciting, ancient man (or woman) back to nature
Spectacular....off the beaten path literally. A great long boat trip on the river between Mexico and Guatemala to the city of Yaxhilan, Then you find yourself on a Mayan site half covered in vines and looking as if You yourself had discovered the city for the first time. The spider monkeys were amazing as well the howlers. Bonampak has an impressive temple set in the hillside and the famous murals of the Riyal Jaguar line. There's a lot of driving, 3.5 hrs each way but staff friendly and breakfast and lunch thrown in. Highly reccomended.

Stunning waterfalls in beautiful rainforest setting in area managed by local community ecotourism project
Beautiful waterfalls in jungle area in ex Zapatista community about 45 minute drive from Palenque. Got there at around 10am thinking it would be quiet but was already quite crowded ( unfortunately with some visitors playing loud reggaeton music!). Got even more crowded later. Probably as it was a Sunday during the dry season ( November to May) Not quite the hidden gem as I'm sure was previously but hopefully ecotourism project now improving welfare of local community while helping protecting the natural area.If you want to support the local inhabitants eat locally at their restaurants in the village rather than bringing your own food.All the local people were very welcoming. The tropical forest surrounding the waterfalls is stunning as are the views of the forest clad mountains when descending on the road towards the village. Come early if want a quieter experience.Im sure the falls are much less crowded during the week and away from the main vacation periods especially Xmas and Easter. You maybe able to stay or camp near to the waterfalls if you want to get there before anybody! The falls must be spectacular during the rainy season but less turquoise blue pools and more chocolate color water after heavy rain. Swimming might be more difficult and risky during rainy periods due to force of water. Wherever or whenever you swim take care especially if alone. Well worth a visit and much less developed and nearer to Palenque than agua azul.

A must-do staple of Chiapas!
Absolutely beautiful with many spaces to swim in. It was spacious with not many people about. The driver picked me up and dropped me off directly from my Airbnb in palenque whilst some other passengers continued on to San Cristobal. We got 45 minutes at Mizol Ha then 3 hours at Agua Azul. All admission fees were included in the package. In total the day was from 12pm-7pm.

The journey took a Collectivo first to the Palenque archaeological zone and then to the falls. Included are ride and admission. The sights are magnificent. In Palenque we have additionally booked a guide (300 pesos per person): Belen translated Spanish and English). She was excellent. Thank you Belen!!

Very worthwhile day trip to Yaxchillan and Bonampak
Very worthwile trip from Palenque into the Lacandon selva to Yaxchilan and Bonampak, two beautiful and fascinating Maya ruins. The trip requires a lot of driving but also a fantastic boat trip on the Rio Usumacinta to/from Yaxchillan which is inaccessible by land. The murals at Bonampak are beautiful and impressive. We loved this day trip.

Well organised, memorable experience!
Very good experience overall. The tour was well organised and delivered everything promised in the itinerary. We shared parts of the tour with people on a one day tour and on a three day tour, booked from different agencies - so it seems whichever channel you book, the experience will end up being very similar. The two ruins on day one were both amazing. Yaxchilan had very little restoration - it is integrated with the jungle and feels very authentic. The murals at Bonampak were fascinating. The jungle walk on day two was about 1-1.5 hour one way and all flat. It's muddy, so good shoes are important. Bring also insect repellent. We had one hour to swim at the waterfall, which was definitely a highlight! Water was very clean and not cold. We didn't want to leave! The cabin was basic but all right. It has a private bathroom and even hot water for shower. There's electricity and a fan in the room. Tap water was on and off. We slept well listening to the running creek right outside of the window. We had three meals at the cabin. Food was good. Portion was not big enough for my teenager sons 😊. There was some confusion about whether and which meals were included in the package, but it was sorted out after the driver called the agency - this seems to be a recurring issue described also in other reviews. We were told that we will be picked up around 5pm the second day, but a driver came already after lunch, so we were back in palenque around 6pm. All in all it was two great days away from the crowd and close to the nature!
