if you have a chance to travel to Palenque area, rather do it instead of doing the one day trip. if you dont have it, this is I guess the cheapest version you can do from San Christobal. the minivan is really small, the roads are bad...but for us the waterfalls + palenque was worth. it is only about where are the limits of your comfort and how many time do you have for travels.Great day trip with amazing sights. Unfortunately the guide/driver didn't speak English so we had some trouble understanding what was going on
Great day trip with amazing sights. Unfortunately the guide/driver didn't speak English so we had some trouble understanding what was going onThe things you see and do are great. The minivan is much to small voor tall persons like me. The driver has no other option than to race over the curvy and bumpy mountainroads to livecto his timeschedule To be honest i didnt have no other option...

The things you see and do are great. The minivan is much to small voor tall persons like me. The driver has no other option than to race over the curvy and bumpy mountainroads to livecto his timeschedule To be honest i didnt have no other option... At 4 am you are in front of your hotel at 10.30 you are back totallly shaked up cus of the many bumps and curves in the roads. The best place to do this tour from is Palengue an not San Crostobel de las Casas. De driver was nice (Jesus) The sites are worth visiting and Chiapaa is beautifull.Agua Azul and Palenque are both excellent sites for different reasons. Waterfalls vs Mayan Temples. Each was worth the trip. To combine both in a day is efficient but exhausting. Pickup time is 4 am. Dropoff time is 11 pm.

Agua Azul and Palenque are both excellent sites for different reasons. Waterfalls vs Mayan Temples. Each was worth the trip. To combine both in a day is efficient but exhausting. Pickup time is 4 am. Dropoff time is 11 pm. Most of the time is spent in the van, navigating narrow mountain roads and topes. En route there are stops for food and bathroom breaks. At the break locations and the main attractions, locals will try to sell you food and tourist keepsakes. Consider splitting the trip in two if you have the time.Many stop in few restaurant (why?), we arrived on late at Palenque and we had less than an hour to visit the ruins

In our opinion the trip is too long for a day trip but the sights are wonderful and should definitely be seen. This rating does not reflect this however. It would have been much better to have at least a partial English speaker in a tour of 3 English speaking couples as info about each site was given in Spsinish by the driver but we're totally aware that this may not be possible. We found the driver very rude. As we speak no Spanish we tried to communicate to him about pick up times etc and were rudely ignored. We were an hour late on our return and he dropped all 3 English couples in the main square only taking the Spanish speaking ones to their hotels. Not back at our hotels as specified. Again he was very rude and just had his back to us as we left. The driving was terrible on the roads. It's a bad road but we've done the journey before much better - think bouncing a foot high every time he went over a bump! Such a shame as the sights are a must see!
