Swimming in the cueva was wonderful, worth the stair climb.”

In addition to that, he provided us some facts about the history of the area we were hiking. Wear some water shoes or shoes of some sort to cross the river as there were several of those. The hiking trail consisted of smooth sand to rocks & boulders that you’ll cross. The waterfall was absolutely gorgeous & watching the cliff jumpers dive in was exciting. The water felt refreshing- nice & cool. It’s a good workout but not too difficult for 50 & 60 yo people in reasonably…”

“I really recommend this trip, particularly if you just do one way and stay in Palenque (easy to get buses on)! Its definitely long and windy but you get to see so so so much of the stunning Chiapas region in short span of time. The sights are all incredible - swims and then the ruins. I don't speak Spanish and was worried about having Spanish only driver, but I was totally fine, we worked it out easily. The driver is really just that, he isn't a guide, so can work out meet times etc. I really recommend getting the guide at the ruins. Its pricey but we split it…”

As we were quick with the rest of the trip, we asked Abraham to stop at Arbol de tule for 10min which he also did. Great flexing and very friendly”

From San Cristóbal: Agua Azul and Palenque Day Trip

15.From San Cristóbal: Agua Azul and Palenque Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 75 reviews · 19 hours · from $98

Travel from San Cristóbal to Palenque by air-conditioned minivan, stopping at Agua Azul and Misol-Ha along the way. You will see jungle waterfalls, Maya temples, and rural Chiapas, with the option to finish at Palenque or return late to San Cristóbal. Spanish only.

“This activity was amazing. We choose it as practical way to continue our trip from Palenque. Consider to wake up early and the time spent on the bus. Although it's a great chance to see a lot of small rural villages along the way. We had enough time to visit the places, only Palenque was a bit tight but doable. Our drive really made this activity exceptional. He was very kind, flexible, and really cared about the passengers, telling stories about Chiapas (in Spanish). I'd recommend it.”
