Exploring a Maya Archaeological site in Southern México
I´m exploring a new of posting my pics, a lot of people told me that the 4-5 pics I upload on every post is not enough to really grasp the real adventure so here it a video tour around Palenque.
After 6 hours in a very uncomfortable mexican van and a highway with only curves and ups and downs, I arrived to a rainy and cold scenery surrounded by howling monkeys.
You might not know but I am quite an expert in Maya ruins - or at least I think I am - and this might be around my 10th Maya ruin exploration in all the Maya empire across Mexico and Central America.
I´ve been able to explore Tulum, Coba and Chicen Itza in Mexico, Cahal Pech and Xunantunich in Belize, Tikal in Guatemala, Copan in Honduras and a few others that I don´t recall right now.
I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know if you like the style or if you would like me to narrate my insights along the video instead of some NCS - no copyright sounds - music.
By the way, the song is Home by Vexento, if you want to access to his music here is a link, make sure to give him some views and likes!
My video is at DLive
Maya is beautiful in its own special way..I see many silent ancient stories written in the ruins.Thanks for sharing your story with us
I'm glad you weren't engaged in some sort of temple run by a verocious beast. Lol...Maya looks like a nice place to visit
Adventure-one part of life I plan to fully key into in the next few years. Maya looks like a place I'd like to touch. The video quality is fair enough
Nice post! I need to visit Mexico in the future! I just returned from Porto and I posted the first part of the trip. Would be awesome if you check my posts! Upvote & Follow.
Thank you for sharing this. Great post!
How great you are for archeological sites, it would be great to talk in depth about their culture, way of life, food, economy, what happened to them and those things would be quite interesting.
I hope you enjoy that experience and get good vibes.
a hug from Venezuela!
That would be awesome! I´m more about writing about experiences rather than history when it comes to archaelogical sites, as anyone can read about that in a few websites about Maya culture. Thanks for dropping by my friend.
If you ask me, I will say it's a great adventure. Will like to visit Mexico someday
Man, i would love to go there one day. Are there many tourists?? So many archaoeligical sites are busy with them.
Compared to Chichen Itzá or Tulum, there aren´t many tourists, but compared to Copan, its full of tourists. I would say in a scale from 1 to 10, this one is 3 or 4 in touristic activity. But very recommended mate.
Thats not too bad. We are planning a trip that way eventually so I will put it on the list. Yeah we found same thing with Burma... In Bagan (amazing) there were hundreds around ONE temple to watch a sunrise yet we drove a couple of ks away and found a quiet one equally beautiful.

That looks an amazing place to explore, a little to many steps for me. :)
Hola Eric yo he estado dos veces y me ha encantado es un lugar mágico, me gusto mas que las Pirámides de Teotihuacán aunque estas últimas son imponentes, las de Palenque son especiales porque hay más areas verdes y se siente mas el contacto con la naturaleza, y si bajas caminando por los caminitos que tiene ves pequeñas caídas de agua que son preciosas!
Hacer un video con las fotos es una idea genial, pero yo disfruto más viendo las fotos, porque me gusta ampliarlas y detallar el lugar y más si es un sitio donde nunca he estado. Saludos!
