The Misol-ha Waterfall.

I did not expect on this quick trip to Palenque that we would be getting everything done that I had wanted to see and do. However due to the fact that we bought the package tour, we ended up stopping at Misol-Ha waterfall. All I can say is 30 minutes is not long enough. The […]

The Ruins of Palenque

I recently did an overnight trip to Palenque, Chiapas Mexico. Of course one of the highlights were some very impressive ruins.
