We took a day bus to
Palenque which was nice for a change and only took about 5 hours. We got to
Palenque late afternoon and took a taxi to El Panchan which is an area just out
of Palenque in the jungle with lots of cabanas, a restaurant and a couple of
bars. We stayed there one night in a cute cabana and it was nice wandering
around in the jungle.
We booked a tour for the next day to the ruins and two
big waterfalls, Misol-Ha and Agua Azul. The ruins were very cool and definitely
my favourite ones in Mexico. The Misol-Ha waterfall was crazy! We walked behind the waterfall and it was like
being in a really intense storm. Luckily we put rain jackets on because you got
soaked instantly. The Agua Azul waterfall was huge with a few different
sections that you could swim in. There had been quite a bit of rain so
the water was a bit brown and murky, not the beautiful blue we saw in all the pictures, but we still went for a swim!
Once we got back we
had dinner at the restaurant in El Panchan and then got an overnight bus to
Merida.
