Visit Bonampak with its fascinating murals and high-quality ancient Maya frescoes as the main attractions. The pyramids are surrounded by the colors and sounds of the Jungle of Chiapas called also the Lacandon Forest. Yaxchilán is a splendid setting of an evergreen forest blanketing a magnificent archaeological site famous for its statuary art, stelae, and lintels. The Maya took to building the terrain of a peninsula surrounded by a meandering river.

  • Zona Arqueologica de Yaxchilan, Chiapas, Mexico
    Your adventure begins with pickup at your hotel with destination to the Corozal Border where you will hop on a boat that will take you to Yaxchilán, known for its large number of architectural structures and inscriptions. There are texts everywhere: on stelae, on altars, on door finials, and on lintels. For the construction of the complex, the Mayans took advantage of the characteristics of the terrain of a peninsula surrounded by a meander of the Usumacinta River.
    120 minutes
  • Zona Arqueologica de Bonampak, Bonampak, Chiapas, Mexico
    Is the modern Mayan word for “painted walls,” which perfectly describes this rare, ancient ruin in the rainforest of Chiapas. Three rooms within the main structure at the archaeological site are covered with colorful, vivid murals from top to bottom, including on the arched ceilings.

While this experience got me where I wanted to go and provided ample opportunities to eat and use the restroom, the description is a little misleading. There is no guide provided (in English or Spanish) for either of the archeological sites. At each site, a guide could be hired for an additional cost (the local guide at Yaxchilan quoted a cost of 200 pesos for our group of 5). Also, be aware if you do not speak Spanish that the driver does not speak English. There is limited to no cell signal for the majority of the day so google translate will only take you so far if you don’t speak Spanish. Keeping these things in mind, these sites are difficult to access and worth making the trip to see.

It was one of the most interesting experience during our trip to mexico. Nit only for the Mayan ruins, but also for the nature, the monkeys, travelling between mexico and Guatemala, the different communities you pass through on the way. Basically everything! Highly recommended. Xol, the guide is very experienced with deep knowledge, very friendly as well. Top!

The most amazing trip I did in 3 very busy weeks in Mexico. The very early start and hours of travel were absolutely worth it. The boat ride from Frontera Corazol to Yaxchilan along the Rio Usumacinta (which is the border between Mexico and Guatemala) was fabulous, and arriving at Yaxchilan, in the jungle, by boat as it cannot be reached by road, was incredibly special. It is a fabulous site, and the only sadness was that we could only have 2 hours there as we had such a lot of road (and water!) to cover. Then Bonampak - wow! A Mexican traveller in the group said he had heard it was like Michelangelo had been to Mexico - well, it was certainly as amazing, in my eyes at least. Unbelievable that we can see such well preserved wall painting in situ, right up close. The van was comfortable, and we ate an excellent breakfast and lunch en route. I can’t fault this unique trip. Worth every peso, and every hour of the long day.
