Palenque, culture and history - Palenque has been a great experience, from the history, the culture, the food, the people, or rather EVERYTHING! The tour offers a look at our African roots, how slaves fled from the conquerors and founded their own town in the mountains, making this a unique cultural wealth, without a doubt Palenque was the best of our trip.

Ok, but rushed. - This tour wasn't like the others I saw on YouTube and heard about in other travel groups. It felt rushed. We didn't have the African dancers like I see in other tours. The driver was quiet and dumped us off on the street to our tour guide in Palenque. Nothing like what I was expecting considering I watched other tours online.
