mexico June 07 Part two: Palenque Ruins, Misol-Ha waterfalls, Agua Azul, Villahermosa, Orizaba, the highlands of the central valley and Mexico City
No! Take me back to part one
The ruins of Palenque are situated very nicely but to me they didn't seem that spectacular, a bit hyped, really.
However, i still managed to take a few pictures of them...
