Palenque National Park

Amazing ruins close to Palenque, Chiapas. Ignore all the vendors in the ruins and buy in-town instead.

A little lesser-known than many of the ancient ruins in Central America, Palenque - in Chiapas, Mexico - is still a great spot to check out while in the area.

Getting there takes a bit of time, but you'll be rewarded with smaller crowds, and a little more "left to the jungle" vibe.
