Tour to Palenque Ruins and Agua Azul Waterfalls / Private 

From $ 57.00 Usd / 5-8 Person

Our first visit will be a Guided Tour in the Archeological Site of the Mayan Ruins of Palenque.

Palenque, located in the State of Chiapas Mexico, famous for the ruins of a Mayan city. Set amidst thick trees, Palenque still evokes some of the wonders that the early Spanish visitors must have felt when they first came across the ruins. A medium-sized archaeological site, much smaller than the huge sites like Tikal or else Copán, but it contains a few of the finest sculpture, architecture, roof comb as well as bas-relief carvings of the Mayan era.

Palenque in Yucatec Maya Language“Bàak”, also anciently known as Lakamha (literally: “Big Water”), was a Maya city-state in southern Mexico that flourished in the 7th century. The Palenque ruins date from 226 BC to 799 AD.  After its decline, it was absorbed into the jungle of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but has since been excavated and restored and is now a famous archaeological site attracting thousands of visitors.

Our last and second Visit will be at The Waterfalls of Agua Azul, these waterfalls are a magnificent natural spectacle, as several waterfalls, coming from the river Tujila, splash downwards over different natural terraces, giving you the impression of being only one huge waterfall.

Agua Azul Waterfalls is one of the world’s largest systems of limestone terraces in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. The steps of Agua Azul Waterfalls – gours – have been formed by the river itself because the river water is rich with lime and deposits this substance on its way. Fallen trees and even living trees on the way of the stream are encased in lime. Lime has colored the water in a beautiful turquoise and green color. This color contrasts with the brown and white lime as well as lush rainforest on both sides of the river. Few places in the world have such a special, unusual beauty.

During the dry period of the year in December – July visitors can enjoy the beautiful blue and green color of the water in falls. Have in mind, when the rainy period comes, there is more water in falls making them more impressive. At high water the color of the stream though becomes less attractive – it is muddy and brown. However, it is a great opportunity to experience this magical place at any time!!
