I liked the ruins, but I wish we had more time there. The drivers and guide on the walk did not speak English, which is not their fault, but it did complicate things. The stay in the Lacandon village was advertised as ‘learn about the culture of indigenous Lacandon people’, but there was none of that, in my opinion. I did not feel particularly welcome to be honest. It made me wonder if the people of the eco-camp should maybe consider a career change, because working with tourists does not seem to be something they really enjoy. The surroundings were beautiful and the swim at the waterfall was great though. After lunch we had to wait for the van back to Palenque for three hours, although in the description it was said we would drive back ‘after lunch’. The time-frame here is open to interpretation, I guess. I have to stress that the experience was not overall negative, but there most definitely is room for improvement, especially regarding the overnight stay in the village.
