Misol-ha and Palenque (the templa of the Cross and the Palace)

Traveling in between small cities on this way is very fast and cheap. You just have to find out a bus station in every small town and within 20-30 minuts you are on your way with local minivan. This is how I traveled to Palenque and Misol-ha as well. I was really amazed by these ruins. Even more when I visited them for the second time, early in the morning after rain. The water was evaporating from the forest, the monkeys were screaming and tourists were hidden. Great to walk in the rain and think about this town 13^th centuries ago. Parts of Palenque are still in the forest. It takes a while to excavate everything. Each building has its purpose – military, residential, administration.
