EL Cañon del Sumidero

Despite the direct route being only 140 miles, the bus we took from Palenque to San Cristobal took us on an impressive route 300 miles and 9 hours long.

Arriving late in the afternoon, the first thing we noticed was the temperature. A far cry from the heat and the humidity of the Yucatan, the air here was cool, dry and refreshing and for the first time since arriving in Mexico we were able to check-in at a hostel not soaked in sweat, but dare I say, looking almost presentable.
