Palenque Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Ich bin wieder zurueck nach Palenque gefahren. Ein Grund war, dass es mir dort gut gefallen hat und ich nur voll kurz blieb, der zweite, dass ich noch zu Wasserfaellen gehen wollte, die sich dort befinden.
So kehrte ich also in den Dschungel zurueck... Wunderschoen. Ich wurde auch direkt bei meiner Ankunft von den Affen 'begruesst'. heisst, ...

Das auf rund 2200m ü.M. liegende San Cristobal de Las Casas war 1994 von der Zapatistischen Befreiungsarmee vorübergehend besetzt worden. Noch heute finden die Zapatisten in der meist indianischen Bevölkerung der Region grossen Rückhalt. Bemerkenswert ist, dass bis zum heutigen Tag rund um San Cristobal de Las Casas zahlreiche Indianerdörfer exi...

Hola everyone, This update comes from Mexico home of tequila, sombreros and the 50c taco. We spent two weeks in Mexico, flying from Havana, Cuba and touching down in Cancun after quite a hairy flight with Mexicana Airlines. The minute we took off on February 1, we felt something wasn't quite right. The plane was shuddering quite violently (thoug...

Nach ein paar schoenen und sehr lustigen Tagen in San Cristobal waren wir bereit fuer neue Abenteuer. Wir haben uns auf die Socken gemacht nach Palenque, wo sich einige der interessantesten Maya-Ruinen Mexikos befinden. Wir sind morgens frueh aufgebrochen, um mittags einen Stop in "Agua Azul" einlegen zu koennen. Es war superwarm und so kam uns ...

The Ruins at Palenque are nestled in the jungle covered hills of southern Mexico. The temples and construction are all the more awe inspiring as they cover steep grades. The ball court is much smaller here than in Chichen-itza, I wonder if this is any comfort to the loosing team that gets sacrificed, you decide...

Palenque, an encient Mayan city built in the middle of the jungle. Our first impression of the site was spectacular. In a totally different league than Chichen Itza. The latter is mostly important because of great Mayan achievements connected with astronomy, manipulation of sound etc. As we have mentioned one needs a lot of imagination to enjoy ...

San Cristobal was amazing!! We really really enjoyed it there...We found ourselves a great posada run by a super sweet family - it was so clean and friendly that it was easy to relax...That is, when cannons/flares weren´t being shot into the sky to keep the birds out of the fields!! I´m very amazed at what we are now able to sleep through! We sp...

From San Cristobal we made the easy 5 hour journey to Palenque - an important Mayan site in the middle of the rainforest in Chiapas. On the bus we met 2 cool Dutch girls, so spent most of our time in Palenque with them. We eventually managed to find kind of decent cabin for USD$10, which was in the middle of the jungle, with only mozzy nets for ...

Since we last wrote, we crossed into Mexico and had a whirlwind tour of Mayan ruins. From Caye Caulker, it was a short water taxi to Belize City, then an international bus to Chetumal, Mexico. Also aboard the bus was a Swiss/Italian woman and her 3-year old that had stayed with us in Caye Caulker, and a tour group of about 20-odd people who were...
