National Park of Palenque

A wide variety of pyramids, temples and sculptures have all been found at this famous Mayan archaeological site.

Reviewed By 301lisa33 - Coventry, United Kingdom

Fabulous. This site is quite extensive and diverse. Do look for the Tower Palace (which seems quite unusual). Go inside and explore some of the tunnels. (There are bats, if you want to look for them.) There is a very interesting quadrangle with the Temples of the Sun and Cross. Dramatic. There is also a ball court although that takes a bit of imagination. This site is a major attraction - so get there early

Reviewed By Sokey71 - San Diego, United States

Yaxchilan Arqueological site where the only way to get there is by taking a boat in the river Usumacinta and it is a 30min. ride and it is beautiful and also you can see the howler monkeys , spider monkeys, Toucan birds and parrots. Beautiful place.

Zona Arqueologica de Palenque

Reviewed By laurentc651 - Saint-Jeannet, France

A must visit archaeological site in Mexico!! Located in the heart of the 'selva', it's worth taking a guide to fully grasp the majesty of the Mayan civilisation in Palenque. Our favourite :)

5. Catedral de San Cristobal Martir

Catedral de San Cristobal Martir

A spectacular view from the hill is your reward for reaching the church of San Cristobal.

Reviewed By connierideout16 - Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Sadly, due to Covid, much of the cathedral cannot be seen due to barriers and construction. The park in front of the church is also partially covered and not accessible. Will simply have to return. Huh of activity in the square with vendors and food carts.

6. Ayuntamiento de San Cristobal de Las Casas
