Aluxes Ecopark Trip

We'll pick you up at the indicated time from your hotel in Palenque and take you to the Aluxes Ecopark, a rescue center for the fauna and flora of Chiapas.

Upon arrival, we'll enter a man-made jungle with more than 10,000 tree species, rehabilitated wetlands, and a new lagoon system. During the tour, we will climb a 25 m (82 ft) high tower to spot various birds, particularly the scarlet macaw. In the distance, we can also see the Mayan archaeological remains of Palenque.

Afterwards, we will observe monkeys, turtles, anteaters, and the jaguar in its habitat. It is the largest feline in America and a sacred symbol of Mayan culture.

We will also visit the manatees in their lagoon and learn about these large freshwater creatures, which were historically mistaken for mermaids.

Our tour will include the crocodile area and locations where playful spider monkeys and howler monkeys reside. The Aluxes Ecopark is home to numerous reptiles, amphibians, and birds.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Palenque, concluding our adventure after a total of 2 hours.
