Palenque Vacation Guide

Palenque, located in the state of Chiapas, in southern Mexico is a small town near the Mayan ruins of the same name. Because of its proximity to the Palenque ruins (approx 9kms), the town caters to travellers by offering a relatively high number of hostels, posadas, hotels and a campground. It is the hub for local and regional transportation. Food can be cheap in the small taco stands, but if you need something more substantial there are many restaurants to choose from.

Palenque is most famous for its archaeological ruins, near the city. There are numerous colectivos making the circuit from town to the ruins. Walking between the trees, admiring the ancient architecture, that's what Palenque stands for.
The site is medium sized, compared to others, but it contains many important and beautiful Maya architecture, sculptures and carvings.
