The Mayan´s were amazing people

We made it to Palenque with a little sleep on the bus and got a hotel across the street. Most of the hotel have cost around 200-250 Pesoes or $17-$20 Canadian.

The Resturant we ate Lunch

After sleeping in today we headed for lunch then to the Mayan ruins. We had a terific tour guide named Artero. He really liked us because we were young and very interested. We are here during the low season so there were not very many people there and we got some great pictures and a good deal on the tour.

Mayan Ruins

Were in the Jungle Baby!!

The ruins are in the middle of the Jungle. They were really only discovered 50 years ago by British archoligists who had to brave Malaria and of course the predators of the jungle (Jaguars and Boa Constrictors among others). They say that Palenque was like the lost city of Atlantis since it had been abondoned in 900 AD and the jungle grew over most of the ruins since then. They are now unearthing many ruins but still statalite images show over 2000 smaller pryamids surrounding the main Pryamid.
