Helpfulness
Like many of the popular Mayan sites there are many vendors both outside the site and within the site as well. I found that the vendors at Palenque went to great lengths to employ their children to use their cute innocence to sell their wares. I had many different children come up to me trying to sell stuff to me and it worked because they were so darn cute! If you really want to help them out have them follow you out to the entrance where the vendors are selling food and buy them a meal. I got the impression that they didn't get enough to eat so I think they appreciated that more than my being suckered into buying those worthless Mayan charms! Plus their parents just take the money from them anyway!

These are the best ruins I have seen (so far). They are not as fully restored, famous or beautiful as many others. But the setting, deep in the Chiapas jungle, made it a really great experience. Many...

Palenque - The Most Awesome Mayan City!
Palenque is probably the most facinating Mayan city that I have ever been too. It is the creme de la creme of archeological sites in Mexico. Situated in the tropical jungles of Chiapas, the city...

Unlike most of the Mayan ruins to the south, Palenque was a city built into a vast hillside region. The city flourished from around 300 to 900 AD, but the long rules two related kings provided a 60......
