Plaenque Day Tour & Waterfall
The day begins with a visit to the archaeological site of Palenque, one of the most significant cities of the Mayan world. Set within the tropical jungle of Chiapas, the site is surrounded by rivers and waterfalls that enhance its natural setting. Palenque was once the seat of a powerful dynasty that included the renowned King Pakal, and today it offers an extraordinary look into Mayan culture and architecture. Among its structures are temples, palaces, plazas, and tombs, many decorated with carvings and hieroglyphic inscriptions that record the history of the city and its rulers. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, Palenque is considered one of the most important archaeological areas in Mexico. In the afternoon, continue to the Misol-Ha waterfall, a striking natural feature located in the jungle near Palenque. This 30-meter waterfall drops into a large circular pool formed by the surrounding rock, creating a dramatic setting framed by dense vegetation. The sound of the water and the freshness of the area provide a relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal stop to enjoy the landscape and appreciate the connection between nature and culture in this part of Chiapas.
