Hotels near Palenque International Airport (PQM), Palenque

I TRAVELED A LOT OF CITIES IN MEXICO. PALENQUE IS SUCH A GREAT PLACE WITH BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, KIND PEOPLE. ESPECIALLY AGUA ZAUL. IT'S A PLACE TO HOLD YOUR BREATH AND WILLING TO STAY. IF YOU WANNA LEARN MORE ABOUT MAYA CULTURE, THERE'S NO DOUBLT TO GO.

Palenque is a good place to stay whilst you visit the archeological site and museum. There are plenty of good hotels and restaurants close to the ADO bus station which is where you want to be. There are regular minibuses to Palenque so no need for a taxi unless you wish to travel alone.

The modern part of Palenque, which is where gringos congregate,is quite nice with.a decent selection of bars and restaurants at relatively high Mexican prices. The ruins are about 1/2 hour away from town and are well worth seeing. They are quite spectacular. You can take a combi or a taxi to get there. Guides speak multiple languages and you should bargain for the price - around 1000 pesos for the English tour. About 11/2 hours from town are the waterfalls of Misol Ha where you hike a short distance down a path to see the falls. You can walk behind them and go inside a cave with a lamp to see a beautiful waterfall inside the cave. You can swim there if you dare. Further along the road are the beautiful cascades of Roberto Barrios - 5 levels of waterfalls with beautiful easy swimming pools just outside a Mayan village. This is highly recommended. Also 2 hours away are the waterfalls of Agau Azul.
