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

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 :)

Cascada El Chiflon

Reviewed By jerrylobo - Pharr, United States

We spent the entire day here. It is a lot of walking and going up the mountain. Each viewing stop is more breathtaking. We went in November and it had been raining, the color wasn’t there but the force and amount of water made up for the lack of nice color in the water. Right now it is considered low season so the park is all yours! Once you reach the main mirador and the last zip-line tower keep going there are more miradors that not many people go to. It is hard exercise but definitely worth it! The steps are uneven so wear hiking shoes, take sun block, and mosquito repellent. There is one restaurant a few snack stands and in the park there is also bbq pits. Note the drive is not difficult but there are alot of stops/bumps on the road. There are 2 entrances to this park owned by different companies. I recommend the “Entrada Principal” which has the better miradors. This is the one we went into and from the looks of it, it was the right choice.

Our focus is directed towards the constant search for artistic creativity and possibilities. Our Mission at Arteria is to collaborate with artists and local communities to promote, diffuse, and share the arts to enhance understanding, build communities, and empower lives.

Reviewed By HeloiseJoy - Truckee, United States

One visit to this colorful San Cristobol art hub is not enough. There is a lot to see. I returned several times! And, it's an enjoyable place to visit. The store/gallery is often bustling with activity as local and regional Mexican artists hang their work, pick up commissions, or stop in for a chat. If you arrive during these times, chances are you'll be swept up in the conversation and invited to meet the artists. If you enjoy Mexican art, check out Arteria. There are items for sale at every price point. Don't miss las piedras in the back. This is a terrific store with a dedicated, English-speaking staff.

El Rancho Evergreen Guest Ranch

El Rancho Evergreen, located 45 min south of San Cristobal de las Casas, The ranch provides a great place for many outdoor activities like riding lessons, trail rides, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking and bird watching etc. All within an aera of tranquility and in harmony with nature. Come for the day, stay over night or spend a week. The perfect get away...

Reviewed By picklerick93 - Mexico City, Mexico

I spent a day at the Rancho Evergreen and it was exactly what I've been looking for: nice people who care about their animals, about nature, about your wellbeing... and the food is delicious! :) It's definitely not one of those "hop-on-hop-off" horse ride experiences. You meet "your" horse, spend time with it and the ride is adapted to your riding skills. I definitely recommend staying at this place if you want to spend a day with horses or just in the nature to disconnect a little. Can be easily reached by public transport and taxi.

Templo de Santo Domingo

This 16th-century baroque church dominates one of the town's main plazas.

Reviewed By origamimoon

This is one of my favorite places to spend time. There are always interesting vendors to buy handmade arts and crafts from. The inside of the Templo is a quiet place to sit and rest in with time to think.

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.
