chiapas travel intro BONAMPAK » GETTING THERE

Getting to Bonampak presents difficulties to the traveler not wishing to take a tour. It is 148 km from Palenque, which means at least a 3-hour journey.

You can check the various 3rd class bus stations in Palenque to find available times for departure. We had great difficulty in finding a bus to take us Bonampak and could only find a bus that would take us to Crucero Corozal an intersection close to the site. We then hitchhiked the rest of the way. For this reason we recommend using a tour company.

To drive there you take highway 199 located at the east end of Palenque and follow the signs.

 
Once upon a time, there was a little seamstress who sewed mightily on his sewing machine. The other machines in his neighborhood laughed at him, and shouted: "Fairy! Only old women are streamstresses!" So the little seamstress sewed shut the mouths of everyone who made fun of him. That is why, to this day, we do not know how the story ended, because no one could tell it.
