One of the biggest Mayan cities in the country, nestling in an incredible setting between the jungle and the mountains of Chiapas.
My suggestion
If you don't mind rustic places then sleep at El Panchan. The cabins are right in the middle of the jungle and close to the site. No need for an alarm clock - you'll have the howler monkeys!

Unmissable Mayan archaeological ruins.
My suggestion
Try to go there in a period when the heat isn't yet suffocating, or very early in the morning.

My suggestion
Be the first to visit the site in the morning, when the spectacle it offers is all the more impressive and enjoyable.
