Palenque Tours and Hotel

Depart for Palenque and enjoy the view of the Mexican Gulf during the drive, Arrive Palenque, Lunch and check in to the lovely, jungle-clad Hotel Chan-Kah. Then late Evening visit to Palenque. Palenque is certainly one of the most beautiful of the Maya sites. The tomb of the great ruler, Lord Pakal, was hidden deep inside the Temple of Inscriptions. Palenque is unusual in having almost no carved monuments, but stucco sculptures depicting the city's royalty decorate many of the buildings while lengthy hieroglyphic texts can be found on tablets inside the palaces and temples. The three temples in the Group of the Cross are the most magnificent buildings in the city. Built high on the side of a mountain, these beautifully decorated sanctuaries dominate the site. In their interiors, massive, finely carved hieroglyphic panels tell the history of the kings and the glorification of their gods. Back to our hotel to enjoy the pool with natural crystal waters. Overnight.(B-L).
