Hidden within Mexico’s southernmost state are mist-shrouded jungles, volcanic mountains, thriving indigenous communities, and spectacular Maya ruins. Chiapas is home to the Pre-Hispanic City and National Park of Palenque, built by the Maya between A.D. 200 and 600. Highlights of the World Heritage site include the rambling Palace—Palenque’s largest complex—and the Temple of the Inscriptions pyramid, housing the crypt of Pakal the Great. In Chiapas’ cultural capital, Spanish colonial San Cristóbal de las Casas, stroll the narrow cobblestone streets and book a guided tour.
