The Mayan ruins at Palenque were some of the most impressive we've seen with lush jungle surroundings and a very interesting history. We're very lucky as this is the last year that tourists are allowed to climb and touch the ruins. From next year it will all be roped off with audio guides and will become a very generic experience.
Half of the fun was our guide Ernesto (imagine Mexican Opa) who took the time to take us into the jungle for some monkey spotting (with snake stick and all) and to see some ruins entirely covered by vegetation off the beaten path.
We took a day trip to visit Misol-Ha and Agua Azul - 2 of the most popular waterfall sites in the state of Chiapas. Not quite as impressive as Iguassu Falls will be, but still very beautiful!
