Ellie and Mike's Trip

We spent a day and a night in the colonial town San Cristobàl before going on to Palenque. From Palenque we went on a day trip to the Palenque ruins which are in the middle of the jungle.

The tour we were on then took us to Misol-Há - a 25 metre waterfall with a trail leading along a ledge behind the cascade giving off a refreshing spray.

After Misol-Há we went to the impressive waterfalls of Agua Azul, in the Parque Nacional Agua Azul - more waterfalls and rapids which you can swim in, surrounded by jungle.

That night we took an overnight bus to Tulum - the longest, finest sand beach on the Carribean coast (allegedly). We chose to stay in a Cabana on the beach front. It was very basic accomodation with cold showers and electricity only between 7:30pm and 11pm but worth it to be right on the beach.

We spent 4 days in Tulum and during that time we have hired bikes, visited the ruins and spent time relaxing on the beach.
