Palenque, Mexico



Vast, mysterious and enchanting the ancient ruins of Palenque are my favourite Mayan ruins. Nestled among thick forested hills its pyramids and temple complexes soar above the forest canopy. Hidden deep in the Chiapas jungle the city's existence was unknown until 1773 and even then Palenque was lost and discovered several times until 1841 when it was introduced to the world.
