PICTURE YOUR EXPERIENCE

What your experience is like

Turn a walk through the ruins into a more meaningful historical visit. Follow a guided route through important buildings and plazas rather than piecing the story together alone.

Pickup, timing & return

Return / finish: Finish within the archaeological-site area after around two hours.

Times are approximate and use local time. Your voucher confirms collection arrangements; traffic, weather and route conditions can affect the return.

Departure or meeting point

CATVI ticket office at Palenque.

Check the exact address, time, and final drop-off in your confirmation. The destination name does not always match the departure city.

Is this the right experience for you?

Choose this if you want interpretation alongside admission. Compare it with the private guide option, where admission is separate, and the transport-plus-ticket outing, where a driver is not necessarily an archaeological guide.

What to prepare

Plan what you can comfortably carry while walking. Keep your voucher accessible, protect your documents, and check the provider’s current bag and personal-item instructions.

Cancellation conditions

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; later cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable.

Review and retain the conditions displayed at checkout; those are the terms for your reservation.
