The exposed ruins are only a small part of the total archeological ruins. The site offers the opportunity to walk around the ruins and in the jungle around the unexcavated sites and see jungle animals. It has not been excavated to the extent of other ruins. There is a small museum with some nice artifacts.

Ao visitar o México, resolvemos fazer uma estadia temática, já que não podíamos ver tudo. Nosso tema foi os maias, povo pré-colombiano célebre por seus conhecimentos (único a ter uma escrita na América Latina). As primeiras ruínas que visitamos foram as de Palenque.
Para chegar, fomos de CDMX para Villa Hermosa, no estado de Tabasco. O choque foi no aeroporto: os táxis chegavam quase ao preço do avião e, como era de noite, não tínhamos outra saída senão tomar um deles. Fomos para um hotel e no dia seguinte conseguimos chegar na cidade de Palenque, no estado de Chiapas. De lá, seguimos para as ruínas. Eram DESLUMBRANTES. Contratamos o serviço de um guia. Na verdade, o fizemos por internet três dias antes e nos arrependemos, pois era bem caro e as informações que ele podia dar não eram diferentes daquelas dadas rapidamente nos guias impressos.
Passamos manhã e tarde em Palenque e, então, voltamos para Villa Hermosa. Pegamos nossa bagagem e retornamos para Palenque, onde tomamos uma van para Tikal, uma outra ruína Maia, esta na Guatemala

Palenque is such a nice place to visit. We stayed the night before in a hotel nearby so we were able to visit Palenque in the morning, before all the tourists arrive from Villahermosa, San Cristobal and Tuxtra Gutierrez. Also, since it is located in the jungle, visiting in the morning allowed us to miss the hot and humid weather. Only 2% of the ruins have been discovered so it is impossible to imagine how the place looked hundred of years ago. Due to the pandemic, no one can climb the ruins to avoid being too close to others but still, the ruins are amazing from the ground. The trails through the jungle are great too and you can see cascades and rivers. If you take bananas, you will not be able to get rid of the monkeys! Hire one of the guides once you enter the ruins area, much better price and you can help locals.
