On the way to another Maya ruin site, we stopped at a place called Agua Azul:



It was very nice, but not all that blue (azul) as expected because it had been raining in the last few days.




Another stop was at a really nice waterfall, called Misol Ha:



The interesting part was that you can actually walk behind the falling water cascade:




And then we came to the Maya ruins of Palenque.



We started in San Cristóbal de las Casas early in the morning and it had been raining at night and it was cold at 2100m. About 5 hrs later we arrived in Palenque at 200m where it was over 30 degrees and really humid!



These ruins are some of the most famous in Mexico...



...but after I had seen the Copán Ruinas in Honduras and then the magnificent Tikal in Guatemala, I wasn't all that impressed anymore.



Maybe there were just about enough ruins and temple for me on that trip... so instead of staying another night I changed my plan and took a nightbus to the next beach place right away!
