Palenque - Bienvenidos a Mexico


After two weeks in Guatemala we leave with mixed feelings: We had some amazing days with great sites and nature – but on the other hand security is a big issue, prices are very high and tourism is canalized. So we’re very happy and excited to enter the next country: MEXICO!!


At the border our luggage gets controlled TWICE by dogs – we never witnessed that before and it’s very interesting – but no pictures allowed ;-) 

Our first stop is Palenque and we have a great first dinner in town. WOOOWWW, the food is sooo good!!


Palenque is small and relaxed. Here’s the main Plaza.


And of course, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  
The main attraction of Palenque are the ruins. The site is way smaller than Tikal, but nevertheless very famous: It contains some of the finest architecture, sculptures, roof comb and bas-relief carvings that the Mayas produced.


As in Tikal, one can climb up the temples and enjoy great views!
