Itinerary

Discover Mayan History in Yaxchilan and Bonampak from Palenque

Departure: Daily at 5:30 AM from your hotel reception

This exciting trip will take you to explore two Mayan archaeological treasures Yaxchilan and Bonampak. Every day at 5:30 AM we will meet at your hotel reception in Palenque to begin our adventure.

Our first stop takes us to the "11 de Julio" restaurant, where you will enjoy a delicious included breakfast that will give you the energy you need for the day. Then, we continue our tour until we reach the pier, where we will board a boat that will take us to the Yaxchilan Archaeological Zone.

Yaxchilan Archaeological Zone not only impresses with its architecture, but also with its 124 texts inscribed on 30 stelae, 21 altars, 59 lintels and seven different inscriptions. These inscriptions tell the story of this ancient Mayan city and are an invaluable testimony to its culture. You will have time to explore the beauty of Yaxchilan and marvel at its rich history.

After the visit, you will enjoy an included meal before continuing to the Bonampak Archaeological Zone. The name Bonampak means "painted walls" in Mayan, and this site is famous for its amazing, well-preserved cave paintings. In addition to the paintings, you will find stelae and lintels that will immerse you in the world of this ancient civilization.

Finally, we will conclude our tour and transfer you back to the city of Palenque, Chiapas.
