They have now built a replica of Lord Pakal's Tomb in the museum, but we have no photos of it. We have the original!

Getting to Palenque can be somewhat of a challenge since no major airlines travel to Palenque. Here are our suggestions:

By air:
Some commercial flights arrive in Palenque coming from the Francisco Sarabia Airport in Tuxtla Gutierrez, the Capital of the State of Chiapas. You can also charter a light aircraft to take you to Palenque.

By land:
You can drive or be driven from Tuxtla Gutierrez, the Capital of the State of Chiapas, or from Villahermosa, the Capital of the State of Tabasco, located at about 284 and about 149 kilometres from Palenque, respectively.
You have to take highway 190 coming from Tuxtla Gutierrez, which goes across Chiapas in a west to southeast direction going past San Cristóbal de las Casas, and then on highway 199 leading to Ocosingo and Palenque. The trip takes approximately 5 hours.
If your drive begins at Villahermosa, you take highway 186 up to the City of Escárcega; from there you take highway 114 to the Municipality of Palenque, where there is a bifurcation towards the archaeological compound. The trip takes a little over two hours.

By train:
This is an interesting alternative that starts from Cordoba, in the State of Veracruz. The railway goes all the way up to Mérida, Capital of the State of Yucatan, it stops at the Pakal-Na Station near Palenque.
Also, you could take the "Mayan Express", a luxurious tourist service connecting Mérida and Palenque. The "Mayan Express" train has a coffee car, dinning car and club car. It also has a library specialised on pre-Hispanic cultures.

We have always driven there from either Tuxtla Gutierrez or Villahermosa. We would fly to one of those cities and then rent a car to drive to Palenque.

There are "guides" at the Gate into Palenque, if you wish to hire a "guide."

We have links to Priceline on this page so you can find airlines and hotels that serve those areas.
