I would highly recommend going to visit the lacandon jungle and getting a tour with a local guide.
It is a stunning jungle, with so much biodiversity and the lacandon community are trying to protect it.
Included on the walk is a swim around the waterfall. (Be careful to only use organic sun cream and mosquito repellent, as the other stuff kills the wildlife under the water.)
It was quite a drive from palenque with Pacos tours (3 hours including a breakfast stop)
There are jungle cabins you can stay in as well.
So I wish I had known about the Huts and stayed a night!
