The Mayan culture is something. We are surrounded by it everywhere we turn. There must a thousand sites with ruins. We have decided to not and try to see them all. That could take a lifetime. However, we are seeing the really big impressive ones, not to mention all the other really awesome things along the way, mostly waterfalls.
On our way to Palenque we stopped at two such places. The first was Agua Azul. It is an amazing serious of clear blue waterfalls and pools. We enjoyed some hiking and discovered our own private swimming pools. We also had an unbelievable empanada lunch. Made from fresh from scratch right in front us, 4 for less than a buck!
Next stop was Misol-Ha. This waterfall is over 100ft high, amazingly powerful and hard to swim. There was a path that went all the way behind the falls. Water was pouring from everywhere, even right out of the side of the mountain.
We made it to Palenque late at night, ready for some sleep and our big day at the incredible Mayan site. Our campground was less than a 1/2 mile from the museum, so this is where we started. The site is huge, it includes temples, tombs and a palace. Set deep in the jungle with green grass and a small creek running through the middle it must have been an awesome place to call home.
A pit stop in Cempeche and then on to more Mayan sites before once again heading for the coast and the Caribbean Sea!
