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.
