Great experience in Palenque - It's a wonderful experience where you meet some locals and learn first hand about this town and it's importance in the history of Colombia and freedom.

Interesting - We thought this would be a group excursion, but it was more personal. The tour guide provided us an education while the hired driver served as the camera crew. My friend, an elementary teacher, learned a lot that she could share with her students. With Hispanic heritage month coming up, she said she would have a lot of Information to provide to the students. I felt as though I too received a greater understanding of Palenque. My only gripe was the tour guide answered a lot of phone calls. That's not professional. That aside, my friend loved the fish dish at lunch. I felt the dance performance/interaction by the youth and meeting Ms. Rupert was amazing!
