Palenque has very famous Mayan ruins. But still most of the area is covered with jungle. When you walk along the temples you can hear the monkeys shout and the birds sing. Many tourists come to Palenque, but when you go a few steps away into the jungle, you'll find yourselve completely alone with fantastic nature and romantic ruins.
