Trekking in the Lacandon Jungle

After picking you up at your hotel in Palenque, we will head to the Lacanja Chansayab indigenous community. The journey by minibus will take about three hours, including a stop for breakfast.

Upon arrival, we will start a 4-hour hike through the Lacandon jungle. You will see ferns, orchids, and bromeliads along the way. A Lacandon guide will provide information on various plants, and there is a chance to spot howler monkeys, macaws, and harpy eagles. Jaguars also inhabit the area, so stay alert!

On the return trip to Lacanja Chansayab, you will have one hour of free time for lunch before heading back to Palenque. The total experience lasts approximately 14 hours from pickup to drop-off.
