Discovering the Wonders of Chiapas: A 4-Day Getaway
Travel Designer Review:
Eat a delicious breakfast at your designated hotel in Palenque.
Don't miss the chance to explore one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world - the Palenque Archaeological Zone! This Mayan city is considered by many to be even more impressive than Chichen Itza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Palenque is the most significant Mayan ceremonial center, and its archaeological zone boasts breathtaking temples that have been explored since the 19th century.
The Palenque pyramids are believed to date back to between 400 and 700 AD, and the site's mysticism and immersion in natural beauty make it one of the most remarkable places to visit in Mexico and on your trip to Chiapas.
Founded in 1567 by Fray Pedro Lorenzo de la Nada, the city of Palenque has only one remaining bell as a testimony to its foundation, which is located in the city church. The archaeological zone of Palenque is situated just 8 km from the city and has been, and remains, the most important ceremonial center of Mayan culture.
Among the most significant structures are the Palace, the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Cross and the Temple of the Foliated Cross, as well as the enigmatic Temple of the Inscriptions, where King Pakal's tomb was discovered in 1952, complete with a beautifully carved sarcophagus and the grave goods of the former ruler of the city.
In summary, a visit to the Palenque Archaeological Zone is an unparalleled and impressive experience that you cannot afford to miss. Embark on an exploration of Mayan culture at its finest and be in awe of this site's beauty!
