Agua Azul, near Palenque, Chiapas Mexico

November 10, 2008

Our agenda today is to visit the cascades of Agua Azul; turquoise blue water flowing over the calcium-deposited ledges. This has a big tourist draw and well worth the visit. The water was cold but didn’t keep the Europeans out as they take full advantage of any water dipping opportunity. Too cold for us though.



Since we lollygagged at the falls we decided we needed another day to see the ruins of Palenque and spent the late afternoon searching for another hotel. We found several reasonably priced luxurious resort hotels but opted for the same DT hotel as it was late in the day and we would not be able to enjoy the resort amenities. These resort hotels are very reasonable 50-100USDs, ecological in design (in the jungle), luxurious and amenities galore. Our DT hotel was 20USDs and had everything we needed.
