Palenque
The next position on the list of the best ancient cities in Mexico is Palenque. It is situated outside of the contemporary Palenque city in Mexico. Palenque is believed to have been first settled around 100 BC, and excavations have turned up texts describing a monarch who ruled there in the fifth century AD. Despite this, the city was repeatedly assaulted by residents of other cities.
Palenque is an amazing destination to explore, and its isolation adds to its atmosphere. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and to take in the scenery before it gets too hot; the humid heat of the rainforest is exhausting. If the conditions are ideal, you could see the ruins covered in mist in the early morning hours. Also, when the tourists leave for the day, dusk is an excellent time to visit.
Wear sturdy footwear because there are numerous climbs and you'll be traveling through jungle paths. If you want refreshments or additional information, there are vendors and guides providing their services outside. It is worthwhile to visit a modest but interesting museum that houses many of the items from the Palenque.
