Wonderful experience - The visit to the archaeological areas of Yaxchilan and Bonampak is one of the culminating experiences in the Palenque region. Although it is theoretically possible to visit the sites on your own if you are carrying a vehicle, we thought it best to be accompanied by someone who knew the uses and customs of the towns and the dynamics of each area. We're not wrong. Our guide Marcelino strived to make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Jungle Adventure - Hot tour in a tight tour van with 18 others but a lot of fun with patience and tolerance. Regular pit stops for meals, bathroom, etc. No fault of the tour but the roads are bumpy and expect to spend a significant amount of time driving to reach these ruins. Water and Guides at the site are not included in the tour cost. Driver will drive fairly quickly in order to keep the tour on schedule.

Long, Rewarding Day - Great staff and absolutely amazing destinations. Loved the river boat ride and the food was good. It is a very long day of a lot of transportation in a full van. Come with patience and you will be rewarded.

Yaxchilan Closed, Dishonest Company - DO YOUR RESEARCH! Yaxchilan was closed and the company didnt tell us until we were on the bus that morning, they replaced our tour with a different, cheaper tour, but did not refund the difference. The tour we took was great, but the company was dishonest. Do your research on whether or not you can actually go on these tours, because the company will not tell you and they will still take your money
