The morning of the 4th of July we headed to the Palenque Ruins early to beat the heat and the crowds. The site was incredibly beautiful with huge temples, labyrinthine rooms, excellent details, and a fantastic jungle setting - absolutely awe inspiring.
The museum not only offered hundreds of beautiful objects including the fresco with original paint and jade mask, below, but there was a troop of howler monkeys in the trees just outside the door.
After checking out of our hotel we headed to Misol Ha, a gorgeous waterfall....
....where we took a quick dip before eating lunch and hitting the road. The 5 hour drive back through the mountains provided an interesting selection of village views as we changed back to the cooler, rainy climate of a San Cristobal evening. HAPPY TRAILS!
