Peerless Palenque Gather all your senses and dive headfirst into the ancient Maya world at exquisite Palenque, where pyramids rise above jungle treetops and furtive monkeys shriek and catapult themselves through dense canopies. Seek out the tomb of the mysterious Red Queen and her sarcophagus, wander the maze-like palace, gazing up at its iconic tower, then scale the stone staircase of the Temple of the Inscriptions, the lavish mausoleum of Pakal (Palenque’s mightiest ruler), to survey the sprawling ruins from its summit.
