Palenque - Lost city of the Maya's

Dense, exuberant rainforest shrouds this immense Mayan metropolis, abandoned for unknown reasons over a millennia ago. A sense of the lost, grandiose world of the Maya lingers in this citys ruined plazas.

At its height, Palenque would have supported hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. Slaves, artists, traders, warriors and priests were among the ranks who toiled under the citys noble elite.

Today, vast pyramids break through the thick canopies of foliage. Elegant temples conceal the most sublime examples of Mayan art ever found. Sculptures, stone carvings, ornaments, pottery and hieroglyphic tablets are all contained at this astonishing archaeological site. The ancient city of Palenque is an enigma.
