Chiapas Highlands & Palenque
Explore Sumidero Canyon and the highland villages of San Cristóbal, then take a safe detour route to the Palenque ruins.
Fly into Tuxtla Gutiérrez to visit the canyon first, then stay four consecutive nights in San Cristóbal de las Casas to explore the old town and Tzotzil villages. To reach Palenque safely, bypass Highway 199 and take the ADO bus detour via Villahermosa, which takes a full day one-way. Conclude with the ruins and Misol-Ha Waterfall. Ideal for travelers comfortable with long-distance bus rides. For safety reasons, Agua Azul, Montebello, and border ruins are excluded.
The local situation can be volatile; check international travel advisories before departure. Highlands are cold in the mornings and evenings, so pack warm clothing.
