This tour was great and very organized. Victor and Sophia had great energy and had a lot of knowledge. You can tell they love sharing their history. The boxing gym experience was unexpected and probably the highlight of my fiancé’s trip! Lol The fish dish for lunch was AMAZING! I’m still thinking about that meal. We talked to someone at our resort that used a different tour company to tour Palenque and it seemed like we had the better experience. Definitely take the Palenque History tour with PaleTur.

This was a very impactful and amazing tour. Our guide, Viktor, was incredible. He was from Palenque and knew his history very well. He was engaging and shared the history of his village in powerful ways. I learned so much. And the lunch we had, fried fish with a coconut sauce, was one of the best meals I had in Colombia. Thank you for a wonderful visit.
