We made it back to Palenque – this time staying longer and actually checking out the attractions – starting with the huge ruin site in the jungle.

Ernesto – our local guide (the best of all of them) – showed us around and gave us deep and lively insight in the life of the past occupants of this city. In a game he explained us how/ why (probably) the city has been abandoned. After out visit to the Palenque ruin site, we were led into the jungle – to see some more ruins hidden in the jungle and not excavated (yet). He also showed us the beauty of the jungle. In the afternoon we also visited the Misol-Ha waterfall.
