“Although it was booked as a small group tour, my sister and I got lucky and it was just the two of us. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable car and driven straight to Palenque, our driver was polite. Our tour guide Alberto was very knowledgeable to took us for a lovely walk around Palenque, it was a hot but quiet day. We enjoyed the stop by Kombilesa Mi's studio where we had a little drumming session, and the stop by the local healer too. I would say a bit more activity in the town would be welcome but we were shown all there was to…”
