One of the real gems of Chiapas are the Mayan ruins of Palenque, at the edge of the Lacandon Jungle. We spent an afternoon wandering around, climbing on and through the pyramids in the sweltering heat. Only about 2% of the ruins have been excavated. The other 98% remains buried in the jungle and requires a guide and about 2 to 4 weeks of trekking to see it. We decided to save that for another trip and herded like cattle with the other tourists under the trees trying to escape the heat.
