Chiapas, Palenque - the Maya Ruins
We are already in the state of Chiapas, in the town of Palenque.
"Palenque was a Maya city state in southern Mexico that flourished in the 7th century. The Palenque ruins date back to 100 BC to its fall around 800 AD. After its decline it was absorbed into the jungle, which is made up of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but
has been excavated and restored and is now a famous archaeological site attracting thousands of visitors."
Apart of the Maya ruins we saw in the Palenaue vicinities, the Misol-Ha Cascade and the Aguazul cascades.
The weather was not at all favourable - it's been raining almost the whole day. The photos are not that good - the mist covered it all. Despite that, we enjoyed the day.
Buziaki :-)
