Mexico (Part 7) Palenque, the Mayan Ruins-Wow!
Having visited the ruins of Tulum, Monte Alban, Tikal, and Copan on previous journeys into Latin America, I was still impressed with these ruins in Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico! Take a look for yourself.
Being a Saturday, the ruins were really busy with tourists, most seemed to be Mexican. After the two-hour tour we stayed around for an extra couple of hours shooting photos and climbing around the ruins.
Impressive, huh? Post your comments below if you liked these ruins.
After we finished, we caught another “colectivo” on the highway and headed back to the Chan Kah Resort to take a dip in the pool. But first, I want you to see some photos of the flowers on the property of the hotel in the next post(#8). Then wait until you see the pics of the pool in the post(#9) following the flowers! Stay tuned.

Those ruins were breath taking. I went in the summer of 08. Unfortunately my camera was stolen after my trip and i lost all my pics. Looking at these brought back my experience!
Erlene: Sorry about your camera loss. Glad my photos brought back some great memories. We went to the ruins as a result of a chance meeting with a guy from Mexico who we met on an Alaskan cruise. I had been telling him how impressed I was with ruins around Oaxaca, Mexico and he suggested we visit Palenque. He wrote the name down on a piece of paper and I kept it for a couple of years before finally deciding to go. Glad we did.
