Tonina, near Ocosingo, mexico, travel tour World

Monday, May 10, 2010

One night still very hot, the bus with AC enchants us. We take the first bus that cost us 55 pesos pp Palenque in Ocosingo. ADO with the company, was twice the price.

The bus is slow and empty to our surprise. Once Ocosingo, we seek a room. It is something without really looking at 120 pesos for two with private bath.

In Ocosingo, we seek the office of info, but it is closed. The police give us the info, the site museum is open today and every day. It asks the same question to another person, who also responds that the museum is open today. It was decided So visit the site today rather than wait for tomorrow. (We later learned that ALL Mexican museums are closed on Monday without exception).

We swallow a quarter of a delicious chicken with rice for 14 pesos. We take a collectivo to the ruins at 10 pesos per person for 14km. Once on the site, the entrance is 41 pesos pp. (There is still a price posted for video cameras from 41 pesos more, we avoid)

Few details about the site, the museum might be interesting! What is different here is that the site is doing everything in height. The visit takes little time, but the site is interesting in its difference. Back to Ocosingo, a little disappointed to have missed the museum. We resume the chicken for dinner, it is really delicious and at a price defying any competition! 45 pesos for the whole chicken served with rice. Can be completed with tortillas to 10 pesos per kilo.

Palenque, Mayan ruins and the museum, Mexico

Saturday, May 8, 2010

the morning we woke up early. The ants were very greedy and attacked us well during the night. Put away the tent, we rebuilt our bags and it arrives just in time to catch the only bus of the day as it passes through the village. It is 6h00am and the bus request 70 pp pesos to get to Palenque a trip of 150km.

Once there, we look for a room. We found one at 100 pesos for two. We buy a 20 liters of water we drink in two days, he's so hot! Then we'll taste the tacos made in the street. Palenque is a city that seems to accommodate many tourists, both Mexican and foreign. We are surprised that prices are displayed for a lot of things it's nice to feel that it is the same price for everyone.

the morning, we take a collectivo for the ruins of Palenque. The collectivo costs 10 pesos pp. We have to pay an initial entry to the park at 25 pesos pp. Then we expect the site opened at 8:00 am and pay our entrance to 51 pesos pp including the museum. There is a price for the video cameras of 41 pesos extra, but we are not asking for anything so we do not question. (We think they watch more people in group).

We learn that today, Sunday is free for Mexicans! We are surprised by the number of sellers who move. Between the ruins along the trail, there are dozens and dozens of vendors who sell more or less the same thing. The site is nice and pretty. There are some interesting details. Then we go to the museum, again there are plenty of small stuff. It is very strange for them to do against an entire movie with a replica of a tomb. He is in a temperature-controlled room with maximum number of people who are entitled to enter at a time ... and all that, for a reply!?!

Subsequently, we take a transport to 10 pesos back to town. There is something to eat. No doubt, the food more flavor in Guatemala. We'll see Transport for Ocosingo. Whether or collectivos with a first class bus is the same price! We find it very strange and one wonders if someone tries to rip us off ... Anyway, for the same price, we will take the bus with AC tomorrow morning.
