Palenque is… basically a village in the heart of Chiapas, that is at the same time pretty touristy while also showing the contrast between the “rich” Mexico and the poorer Chiapas fairly well. With touristy I don’t mean super chique or beautiful. Rather that fairly many tourists are running around in Palenque, because there are three really beautiful and impressing sights around Palenque, which don’t really exist like that anywhere else in Mexico. So, even if Palenque isn’t the biggest or hasn’t really got any sights itself, it’s still worth a visit 😊:D
