I´m exploring a new of posting my pics, a lot of people told me that the 4-5 pics I upload on every post is not enough to really grasp the real adventure so here it a video tour around Palenque.
After 6 hours in a very uncomfortable mexican van and a highway with only curves and ups and downs, I arrived to a rainy and cold scenery surrounded by howling monkeys.
You might not know but I am quite an expert in Maya ruins - or at least I think I am - and this might be around my 10th Maya ruin exploration in all the Maya empire across Mexico and Central America.
I´ve been able to explore Tulum, Coba and Chicen Itza in Mexico, Cahal Pech and Xunantunich in Belize, Tikal in Guatemala, Copan in Honduras and a few others that I don´t recall right now.
I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know if you like the style or if you would like me to narrate my insights along the video instead of some NCS - no copyright sounds - music.
By the way, the song is Home by Vexento, if you want to access to his music here is a link, make sure to give him some views and likes!
My video is at DLive
Maya is beautiful in its own special way..I see many silent ancient stories written in the ruins.Thanks for sharing your story with us

I'm glad you weren't engaged in some sort of temple run by a verocious beast. Lol...Maya looks like a nice place to visit

Adventure-one part of life I plan to fully key into in the next few years. Maya looks like a place I'd like to touch. The video quality is fair enough

How great you are for archeological sites, it would be great to talk in depth about their culture, way of life, food, economy, what happened to them and those things would be quite interesting.
I hope you enjoy that experience and get good vibes.
a hug from Venezuela!

That would be awesome! I´m more about writing about experiences rather than history when it comes to archaelogical sites, as anyone can read about that in a few websites about Maya culture. Thanks for dropping by my friend.

@anomadsoul,I'm glad to see that, you're the bet adventure founder in steem blockchain. We're seeing lot of images in Chiapas this time via Dlive video as you created. I appreciate you heard some steemians noises. If not we have to see only five or six images. Actually you carrying me to Maya Archaeological site inMexico via Dlive.
Yep... It's nice to hear me and we can know lot of information about Maya ruin exploration via your knowledge. Maya empires had amazing construction technology and we can see it. Those ancient locations more powerful with stones. I think you'll post more about Maya empire.Thanks for given various kind of blogging.

It was actually something refreshing, I wasn´t expecting it but it still was nice. I had no idea the region was so cold and rainy! I heard around there are still jaguars deep down in the jungle, now that would´ve been an experience.

Was it cold from high elevation? I tend to just assume any jungle-y place is always hot. Seeing a jaguar would have been neat! I wonder if they ever venture among ruins...

Chillies eating, chillies growing, Maya, the national football team and beers (Sol and Corona) are four things that particuarily make Mexico stand out as a culture. Though I've never been there, I've watched some travel and documentary series. Those four things are springing to my mind, or I'm recalling them from my head, immediately about Mexico.

Video and music are wonderful. I think it will be more convenient for you to do this so that you do not upload a lot of photos to the post. Although I like to look and photos.

Para ser honesto nunca he viajado a conocer las ruinas Mayas pero lo unico que he visto en fotografías y videos me hace pensar en la interesante cultura de los Mayas e incluso es increíble ver esas enormes obras arquitectónicas, asi las catalogo yo. Y lo mas impresionante es ver como aun se mantienen en pie. Realmente increíble. Gracias por compartir esa experiencia ya que asi muchos podemos observar las maravillas de nuestros planeta. Saludos.

I almost made it to Palenque the first time I was down in the Yucatan area. A friend and I had come over from the Cancun side after seeing Tulum and Coba, then Chichen Itza. A rental car place sent a representative over to the hotel we were staying at in Merida. We discussed going to Palenque from there, but the rental guy didn't think that was such a good idea due to some skirmish between the military and rebels in the mountains between where we were and where we were going (this would have been 22 years ago). I'm not sure of all the details now, but basically, he talked us out of it. I got the feeling he was more concerned about the car than he was about us. :)
We ended up renting a car from him, though, an old VW bug, and went to Uxmal, which is a very interesting place, as well as some of the coastal areas. After that, we cut that part of the vacation short and flew to Mexico City where my wife and our kids were visiting family.
Seeing your images makes me want to get back down there again. It's kind of a mixture of some of what I saw in Chichen Itza and Uxmal. I guess that shouldn't be surprising, though, right? :)
Cool trip. Thanks for taking us along.

Man, i would love to go there one day. Are there many tourists?? So many archaoeligical sites are busy with them.

Compared to Chichen Itzá or Tulum, there aren´t many tourists, but compared to Copan, its full of tourists. I would say in a scale from 1 to 10, this one is 3 or 4 in touristic activity. But very recommended mate.

Thats not too bad. We are planning a trip that way eventually so I will put it on the list. Yeah we found same thing with Burma... In Bagan (amazing) there were hundreds around ONE temple to watch a sunrise yet we drove a couple of ks away and found a quiet one equally beautiful.

Hola Eric yo he estado dos veces y me ha encantado es un lugar mágico, me gusto mas que las Pirámides de Teotihuacán aunque estas últimas son imponentes, las de Palenque son especiales porque hay más areas verdes y se siente mas el contacto con la naturaleza, y si bajas caminando por los caminitos que tiene ves pequeñas caídas de agua que son preciosas!
Hacer un video con las fotos es una idea genial, pero yo disfruto más viendo las fotos, porque me gusta ampliarlas y detallar el lugar y más si es un sitio donde nunca he estado. Saludos!
