A Walking Tour of Palenque

Palenque is surely one of the prettiest Maya civilization sites, located in the foothills of the Chiapas mountains of southern Mexico, within a lush and well-watered landscape. This week, Contributing Writer Nicoletta Maestri, who has been working at Palenque all spring, took some time out to show us her favorite spots.
