Palenque

I visited this town for one reason: to see the infamous ruins of Palenque. The site is huge! Its definitely one of the best Mayan sites out there. I loved the palace, which had an amazing tower. The temple of the inscriptions is amazing as well. Among the other kewl areas is the plaza of the cross, which houses several nice temples.
