Yaxchilan & Bonampak: Hidden Maya Ruins from Palenque

Very worthwhile day trip to Yaxchillan and Bonampak
Very worthwile trip from Palenque into the Lacandon selva to Yaxchilan and Bonampak, two beautiful and fascinating Maya ruins. The trip requires a lot of driving but also a fantastic boat trip on the Rio Usumacinta to/from Yaxchillan which is inaccessible by land. The murals at Bonampak are beautiful and impressive. We loved this day trip.

Lacandon Jungle: 2 days with Yaxchilan and Bonampak from Palenque
546kew, Aug 2025
Well organised, memorable experience!
Very good experience overall. The tour was well organised and delivered everything promised in the itinerary. We shared parts of the tour with people on a one day tour and on a three day tour, booked from different agencies - so it seems whichever channel you book, the experience will end up being very similar. The two ruins on day one were both amazing. Yaxchilan had very little restoration - it is integrated with the jungle and feels very authentic. The murals at Bonampak were fascinating. The jungle walk on day two was about 1-1.5 hour one way and all flat. It's muddy, so good shoes are important. Bring also insect repellent. We had one hour to swim at the waterfall, which was definitely a highlight! Water was very clean and not cold. We didn't want to leave! The cabin was basic but all right. It has a private bathroom and even hot water for shower. There's electricity and a fan in the room. Tap water was on and off. We slept well listening to the running creek right outside of the window. We had three meals at the cabin. Food was good. Portion was not big enough for my teenager sons 😊. There was some confusion about whether and which meals were included in the package, but it was sorted out after the driver called the agency - this seems to be a recurring issue described also in other reviews. We were told that we will be picked up around 5pm the second day, but a driver came already after lunch, so we were back in palenque around 6pm. All in all it was two great days away from the crowd and close to the nature!

Tour in the Archaeological Zone of Palenque With Guide Included
Grant_M, Jun 2025
Don't want to miss this!
If you are near this part of Mexico, don't miss this! Palenque is the most important site in Chiapas, and one of the most important in the Mayan empire. Bring an extra MX$300 for the jungle adventure; it's well worth it as you'll get to climb up temples recently discovered with LIDAR, and learn about some of the things Mayans used to survive in the deeps of the jungle.

Lacandon Jungle: 2 days with Yaxchilan and Bonampak from Palenque
yMarleney, May 2025
Highly recommended
I made the two-day trip. It was well planned, on the first day two ruins are visited, Yaxchilan (accessible by boat) and Bonampak. The transports to it are inclusive but not the guides, and if you divide it into groups, it's not that much either. It's only in Spanish. Lunch is also not included and quite expensive as it is a 3 course menu. (235 pesos incl. drink for vegetarian menu) The overnight stay is in a beautiful cabaña directly on the river (stream), where you can also swim in the evening. The next day we have breakfast, then a jungle hike to a small ruin and then to the waterfall. That was incredibly beautiful and the guide knows so much about the jungle the plants and animals. At the waterfall he also showed us a cave. We could safely swim there for 1.5 h before running back. At about 4 pm you will be picked up. The owner of the Cabaña always knows about the whole program. All in all the best I have experienced in my two months of Mexico trip. If you have more time, you can also go there on your own, but note that they charge quite a lot for a guide.

Discovering Palenque’s jewels
The visit to the ruins was spectacular - Carlos our guide was super knowledgeable, had lots of interesting facts and it was nice to see the place through his expert eyes. Our driver was really great, always driving responsibly and giving us cool tips about Palenque and restaurants. Lastly, the waterfalls were simply magestic, we were recommended to spend more time in Cascadas Agua Azul which was the right choice.

Private tour to Palenque, Agua Azul and Misol Ha
Enjoyed the private our to all three sites. Had a driver which took me to all three and then an English speaking guide at Palenque who was good. Explained things well, took good photos and overall enough time spent. The driver gave me enough time at both waterfall sites and drove very well. Enjoyed the day trip!

As expected, all aspects of the trip were fulfilled. It would have been nice to spend more time at Misol Ha but I think that the timings are fluid depending on so many factors, so beyond the remit of the Driver

Cool staff
Very cool experience. The boat is open bar, however if you cannot swim they won't allow you to snorkel which sucks. Because usually everywhere else I go they at least allow you to snorkel with the life vest. The staff speaks both English and Spanish.

Palenque Maya ruins, guided tour from Palenque
mottovino, Jan 2022
Palenque is magical
This city will surprise you at every turn. The ancient Mayan city of Palenque is magical. Not only impressive for its architecture and history, but close your eyes and listen to the sounds. Howler monkeys, parrots, and a creek running by the side of a temple. It’s a phenomenal place. A must see in Chiapas. Tip.. Go first thing in AM… I usually hire a guide. But they were asking about $60 US. So we decided to read the signs. Very informative.

We loved our tour. They were on time, the driver was wonderful. And our guide was informative and funny. It was a long day. I would consider staying overnight with the Lacandona I believe the experience would be even better spread over two days.
