+ After a long night bus ride we arrived to the state of Chiapas. There, we went to visit the famous Maya ruins of Palenque and as we heard of a great place to sleep close to the ruins in the middle of the jungle, we decided to go there too. The place is called Pachan and it's a village, with bungalows, guesthouses and restaurants in the middle of the jungle, with no roads.
+ The Palenque ruins date back to 100 BC to its fall around 800 AD. They are scattered around in the forest and it is pretty amazing to walk around those constructions. There is so much green and huge plants, you can also hear the monkeys (at the beginning we weren't sure if the sound was from a bull or a tiger... )
+ Some of the buildings you can also climb and you have a beautiful view from there. The most famous ruler of Palenque was Pacal whose tomb has been found and you can actually enter where the tomb is. It feels like Indiana Jones!
This is the story of a hat wearing a man
