Excellent in fact in my opinion the only way to see Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Great mountain scenery along the way.

Excellent in fact in my opinion the only way to see Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Driving isn't a good idea and I've driven almost everywhere. Great mountain scenery along the way. It's a long day and a guide is a necessity. I was lucky because Martin was tremendous. Bring crazy amounts of Mosquito Repellent for both skin and special stuff for clothing. (I didn't get touched while others got bombed. Also, white shirts attracted these little pains but dark colors don't) Try to see Bonampak first then Yaxchilan later because the morning sun helps illuminate the magnificent murals but later tours are more dimly lit. It makes a great difference believe me. Restrooms aren't very, (How shall I put this?) restfull. The time on the riverboat is fun and watch for crocodiles. I didn't see any but I wish you luck. Try to sit up front in the tour bus because the Mexican "Topos" (Speedbumps) are enough to drive a sane person bananas. Most ancient ruins in Mexico have adjacent hotels but not here, it's best to visit for the day. Don't miss out because both sites are incredible and unique especially Bonampak. The murals are all but one of a kind. Good luck and winging it on your own doesn't work well and costs way more. Best wishes, Ciao!Show more
