How long is the drive from Oaxaca to Palenque?
The direct drive from Oaxaca to Palenque is 453 mi (729 km), and should have a drive time of 9 hrs 36 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Oaxaca to Palenque, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with top places to visit like Capulalpam de Méndez and Casa Mayahuel Mezcaleria, or the ever-popular Pueblos mancomunados Benito Juarez.
The top stops along the way from Oaxaca to Palenque (with short detours) are Parque Museo La Venta, Pueblos mancomunados Benito Juarez, and Yumka. Other popular stops include Laguna Catemaco, Cascada El Salto de Eyipantla, and Olmeca Archaeological Museum.
The trail, or road, begins in the tiny village of Benito Juarez which is 28 km up a curvy, but well maintained dirt road.
You go to a building and pay $100 pesos per person to enter. The money goes to support the village.
There are many trails or you can walk or drive the 3km to the lookout and footbridge. If you want to hike the trails it’s best to hire a guide for $300 Mx since you can easily get lost on the trails. The walk up the road you won’t get lost.
In early May there were wild flowers everywhere and great views as well as lots of cows, donkeys, horses, goats and chickens.
A long ways up a mountain on a dirt road—but so worth it.

(Translated by Google) It's place is super quiet. The people who work there are always very friendly and very willing to serve. One of its principles is the care of the environment. The place is fine to go to relax and enjoy the scenery. At night it is cold and they have cabins for rent. At night you light the fireplace and that is very enjoyable. There are several dining rooms where you can enjoy food from the region. The suspension bridge is very father and el.lugar offers different activities: zip line, visit to waterfalls, bicycle rental ... I recommend it.
(Original)
Es lugar es súper tranquilo. Las personas que trabajan ahí son siempre muy amables y con mucha disposición de servicio. Uno de sus principios es el cuidado del medio ambiente. El lugar está muy bien para ir a relajarse y disfrutar del paisaje. Por la noche hace frío y cuentan con cabañas para rentar. Por las noches te encienden la chimenea y eso se disfruta mucho. Hay varios comedores en los que puedes disfrutar comida de la región. El puente colgante está muy padre y el.lugar te ofrece diferentes actividades: tirolesa, visita a unas cascadas, renta de bicicletas... lo recomiendo.

(Translated by Google) Very good community for hiking, and being in touch with nature. The cost to access the viewpoint and the suspension bridge is $ 50. The suspension bridge supports a maximum of 7 people. There is also a space for roasting meat. The view of the place is amazing. There are also 3 and 5 km hiking trails, respectively. At the moment, the waterfall is not offering it. Additionally, they rent cabins. To reach the viewpoint you have to drive along a dirt road of approximately 2.3 km. They offer bicycle rental.

Adicionalmente, rentan cabañas. Para llegar al mirador hay que circular por un camino de terracería de aproximadamente 2.3 Km. Ofrecen renta de bicicletas.

(Translated by Google) It seems to me that Tlacotalpan is experiencing tourist growth and perhaps that is why the museum is not yet presentable, it lacks order, maintenance, organization and information. I want the museum to achieve its growth because it is a place that, in my opinion, is representative of Tlacotalpan. Still, I recommend your visit, the house belongs to the composer's last wife; It houses photographs and objects.

I recommend going because they let you pass and be able to visualize the process first-hand, there is a very friendly guide who explains everything to you, takes you around the place (it is not very big), it is incredible to be able to be so close to the process. The cigars range from $100 to $3000 pesos or more, depending on the packaging and quantity.

(Translated by Google) They have quite a variety of cigars, they also sell lighters, pipes, souvenirs, etc., it is a nice and well-stocked store but damn! Check the products for sale carefully since the lady was selling us natural cigars for 1000 and 900 pesos saying that they were the only ones she had until checking the store we saw cigars for approximately $460 and we chose those. I think it is important not to abuse the tourist and show the different options to the client.

Tienen bastante variedad de puros, también venden encendedores, pipas, recuerdos,etcétera, es una tienda bonita y surtida pero aguas!

Mesmerizing and astonishing. 'El Salto's' waterfall is beautiful, truly one of mother natures gift to the world. A must see on your visit to Los Tuxtla's region in Veracruz. A great place to take the family. People of all ages will be impressed by the falls massive pour of water and roar. The overlook brings you close to the edge of the fall. A stairway to the bottom of the fall allows you the opportunity to feel the crash of the water. FYI, you will get wet. Make sure your phone has a case and screen cover. Unfortunately access to the bottom is not wheelchair accessible, please be mindful of seniors and people with disabilities. Mind your trash and keep the Tuxtla region clean.

Even in the dry season of April, the waterfall has powerful flow even if not occupying the entire width. Good roads to reach. The Sihuapan street comes straight into the village, ends in a cul-de-sac which is the car parking area and entry to the falls. There is a 15mxn per head entry fee at the top and another 5mxn closer to the fall. Plenty of eateries, souvenir shops, toilets. From the point of entry, if one walks straight across a hanging bridge, one comes to a viewpoint overlooking the top of the falls. Instead if one goes down nearly 240 steps, one reaches a short trail that takes you right upto the falls. There is a barricade so that one cannot actually touch the falls or go under but there is quite a spray. The paths are well laid out, made of stone or cenent and not muddy or slippery. After the exertion of climbing back up the steps in the heat, it was refreshing to have a “ coco frio”, a chilled tender coconut drink outside.

Short drive from Catemaco. Small fee for entrance. Yes as other reviewers have said, lots of vendors, however, they are all friendly and just trying to scrape together a living (mostly poor indigenous Mexicans). That aside it's a beautiful waterfall as seen in the Mel Gibson movie. It is also possible to walk along the riverside from the falls for a short distance.

This 72-sq-km freshwater lake features boating & fishing, plus an island with Macaque monkeys.
Arguably Mexico's coolest lake. If you're into spicy snail ceviche and a little witchcraft (Ask For The Fake News Detox Special), this is the place for you. Make a deal with a small launch to take you to Monkey Island to see some of the charmingly ugliest creatures in paradise.

The lake and surrounding areas are beautiful. I took a boat tour and visited a number of areas around the lake. It was a little too commercialized for me. They tried to sell you things at each stop. I was able to see monkeys on two of the islands in the lake.

(Translated by Google) The Catemaco lagoon is the third largest aquifer body in Mexico; On the margins the city of Catemaco flourished. Despite the name lagoon, it is actually a lake formed by volcanic eruptions and fed by torrential rains, typical of the tropical forest climate that surrounds it, as well as by dozens of streams and several rivers, including the Cuetzalapan River. A heavenly place .

La laguna de Catemaco es el tercer cuerpo acuífero en extensión de México; al margen floreció la ciudad de Catemaco.

Located on the northeast shore of Laguna Catemaco and just 8km from Catemaco, Reserva Ecologica de Nanciyaga provides a protected area for a small portion of rainforest. This well-established park offers visitors a chance to experience traditional steam rooms known as temascal, an ancient planetarium, and Olmec-themed decorations and replicas.

The site and museum showing monuments of Olmec civilization. Most of it are replicas due complicated modern history of the site when were the original pieces moved to Veracruz and Mexico city due to urban and industrial projects in La Venta.
Unfortunately it's visible that the museum is underfunded. The museum building need maintenance.

The personnel are super nice and welcome you with all the information, the museum is quite preserved.
Nevertheless, the Archeological Zone is a little bit sloopy. I strongly recommend to visit in order to improve the zone (they deserve it), but it is not the best archeological zone in Mexico

Breakfast restaurant
Factory Tours
Travelled here with our elderly parents from the UK. It's wheelchair accessible in most parts.
Our guide was a lovely local girl, I think her name is Yvette. She was very interested in us and in giving us a great tour. She has a lovely warm and giggly personality and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
The original house is beautiful. The grounds are full of many different plantations and not just cocoa. If you're lucky you'll also see monkeys sitting high up a huge mangoe tree.
We made our own chocolate with the cocoa beans.
Then we finally visited the shop where we were given a very good selection of free samples. There is absolutely no pressure to make a purchase, but we couldn't resist.
There is also a restaurant, though not sure what is served but I did see children drinking delicious looking chocolate milkshakes.
The plantation is definitely an experience I would recommend.

Absolutely love this place. The tour is well worth it. They have a botanic garden with various plants and an area where with the old house and belongings of the hacienda workers. You visit the owners’s old house, it’s like a museum. Then you get the chance to create your own handmade chocolate. The best thing is that everyone who works there is super kind and attentive- it was a wonderful experience, loved it!

Great way to know everything about Cacao.
The owners are really involved in how the plants are grown, to the fruit and the ingredients and process that goes into making high quality chocolate.
Great Experience
We had a great time at this place! The tour guide was awesomely nice, explained everything and responded all our questions! The tour includes the cacao plantation, the fabric/museum aaand a chocolate drink! It was not only super interesting but really tasty! After one hour we were full of new facts and super delicious chocolate! I would totally recommend this visit to everyone!

They have a 1.5 hour long tour for 350 pesos. You see various plants and get to enter the factory. There is a wee visit at the museum too. They have monkeys! Bring mosquito repellent - you’ll be eaten alive. It was good, but I enjoyed the other hacienda tour better (Jesus Maria).

This is an awesome hacienda to visit. The tour was amazing and we learned so much! The chocolate was so delicious and we bought more.
They preserve the jungle and chocolate trees in a natural state for education and preservation.

We got a private tour from the granddaughter of the man who originally built the hacienda. Really interesting to hear all about how the cocoa is grown and processed into chocolate. If you want a tour in English call one day ahead to book it, but the Spanish tour is also excellent if you know at least a little bit of Spanish.
Sarah Kostelac — Google review
Guys with good intentions. I had a good time but they have a big room for improvement. In general the conditions of the Hacienda are average, I realized that many places were not cleaned for years. It's not the same visit and old place than a abandoned one or tending to that.

Right from the entrance, you will gather the smell of cocoa being elaborated. This is the home the Bombon of Maracuya an award winning creation which won in Paris and New Work. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Hacienda with a huge history. It started to operate from the 20's.

I wanted to participated at the 1pm tour, but I missed it because my collectivo had an accident. I went to the hacienda the same day and asked for the tours on the next day and if I need reservation. The guy just told me i should appear 10min earlier and thats fine. I took myself a room in the city because it was not worth going back and forth to villahermosa again. I arrived the next morning at 9am and they told me they wont have any tours for the day and I should come tomorrow again! Huge waste of time and money!! I cannot recommend any traveller to comer here as they change schedule as they want!!

I just went to their store, they have a brochure and the clerck said that for 300 mxn, theres a tour of the cacao manufacturing, other than that, i dont know anything else about this place
The city of Comalcalco is situated in the Comalcalco Municipality, which lies approximately 45 miles northwest from Villahermosa within the Tabasco state of Mexico. This location also holds a site of Pre-Columbian Maya archaeological importance known as Comalcalco. The ruins are surrounded by jungle trees and get very little tourist attention, yet they stand out due to their uniqueness in terms of architecture; many buildings were constructed using oyster shell bricks or mortar.
I went solo there and the owner warmly welcomed me and showed me the stuff. Very impressive and I enjoyed my time with his caco farm. I would highly recommend it.

From Cocoa bean to Bar. The Whole experience. Are you curious about how traditional chocolate is made? This is your place.

(Translated by Google) Is awesome. The church on the outside is spectacular, just for its view whether during the day, afternoon or even at night makes Jalpa de Méndez worth the same as any magical town in Chiapas or Campeche, but the thing is not just there, inside It is built in detail and each space has a meaning, someone needs to do justice to all the symbolism that is inside, from the legends that are observed to the stained glass windows. If you don't stop by to visit her when you come to Jalpa, don't even say you came.
(Original)
Es impresionante. La iglesia por afuera es espectacular, solo por su vista ya sea de día, de tarde o incluso de noche hace que Jalpa de Méndez valga lo mismo que vale cualquier pueblo mágico de Chiapas o Campeche, pero la cosa no solo queda ahí, por dentro está construida a detalle y cada espacio tiene un significado, hace falta que alguien le haga justicia a todo el simbolismo que hay dentro desde las leyendas que se observn hasta los vitrales. Si no pasas a visitarla al venir a Jalpa mejor ni digas que veniste.

Avenida Nueva Imagen #108, Lote 6 Esquina Calle 3 Fraccionamiento, C. 3 Fracc, Bonanza, 86030 Villahermosa, Tab., Mexico
Public park with a lagoon, a concrete amphitheater, an orchid house & more than 2,000 native plants.
Great park to spend a relaxing time and take some great pictures in Villahermosa. Several vendors add to the full Mexican city experience and support you with food and drinks while you are on your walk through a picturesque scenery. Definitely worth a visit! Note that the letters of Villahermosa were not at its designated place in the middle of May 2021 (and not anywhere close). However, the park is huge and has many great sights to offer so you can be sure to take some great pictures.

Parque Museo La Venta is an intriguing outdoor museum situated in western Tabasco. It was established in 1958 to protect the ancient Olmec settlement of La Venta from petroleum exploration, and houses several significant artifacts including giant stone heads and carvings salvaged from the oil fields. The park exudes a jungle-like atmosphere within the city, making it a fascinating destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
A beautiful place if you love nature and history. I recommend you to pay for a guide. It's not expensive and it will be very useful and add a plus for your trip there. Use repellent like off! cause there's a lot of mosquitos. You can find here the olmeca head so prepare for some good photos 💜👌 a must to visit if you are in Villahermosa.

I was visiting from the US and my friends wanted to take me here. It’s beautiful, for sure. I really like that it has the combination of being a museum AND a zoo! Mostly common zoo animals, but it’s still neat. I really enjoyed the bird area that you can walk into. The big head statues are awesome. The ONLY downfall is the amount of mosquitoes is torturous! Be prepared for that, bring plenty of bug spray/repellent because you will for sure be eaten alive by mosquitoes if not. We had bug spray and were still getting attacked haha.

DO NOT GO IN THAT PARK !
i went there because of the famous statues but I wasn’t aware that there will be animals. It was a HORRIFYING experience… Animal’s spaces are mostly made of concrete or dry dirt, without grass and the LACK OF (CLEAN) WATER is unbelievable. Every animals seem really SAD/depressed and most of them are ALONE in their space. I mean I saw a jaguar eating grass…. I highly regret going there. I don’t know where their money goes, there are many ABANDONED infrastructure. I didn’t see anyone around animals, do they even have qualified people taking care of them ??????
For god sake please do not go in that park, seeing few statues is not worth seeing a bunch of depressed and bad treated animals….

The Catholic cathedral in Villahermosa, known as Lord of Tabasco Cathedral, features twin bell towers that are illuminated at night, creating a dramatic sight. The cathedral also showcases various artworks. While some may find it less captivating than they had anticipated, locals often refer to it as Una senor de Villahermosa and consider it a small church worth exploring for those seeking tranquility. It is advisable to bring a water bottle due to the hot and tropical climate of Villa Hermosa.
Beautiful cathedral in the middle of Villahermosa. Definitely worth a visit! To get in, use their entrance at the south side. (Right in front of the church, the gates were closed when I was visiting.)

Mexico's second largest collection of anthropological artifacts in a museum opened in 1980.
Great museum about the Mayas in Tabasco. Entrance fee was 24 pesos and well worth the hour I’ve spent here. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the air-con works great! If you’re on a walk through town, it’s a great place to cool down while informing you about the history of the Mayas and watch many very interesting artefacts. Apparently, there are other expositions as well since they were preparing a painting exhibition, but at the time of my visit that part of the museum was closed to visitors, unfortunately.

Av. 27 de Febrero, Centro Delegacion Dos, 86000 Villahermosa, Tab., Mexico
Small zoo with guided tours of different geographical zones, home to jaguars, elephants & toucans.
On my recent visit, the 2 guides for our tour were very informative and pleasant. They explained about every animal and their habitat. They talked about conservation efforts and where we can participate.
The animals look well kept and healthy.
My only concern would be DUMBO the elephant.
His enclosure consists of only a metal structure in the middle of an empty land. With no big trees for him to cool off when the sun is at it higher point. It was saddening to witness how he tried to slim down and stay still in order to fit inside the very little shadow the structure was projecting.
I hope the next time I visit the park, his conditions are better. They have a store at the entrance for you to buy snacks and plenty of choices for drinks since they don't allow outside food or drinks, yes, not even water.
At the end of the train ride, there's a section with more exhibits and even though it is not a formal restaurant, they have sitting and they offer food options like tamales, empanadas, oreja de mico and different traditional candies and snacks. They also offer drinks and paletas de hielo.
I hope everyone visiting Tabasco can take the opportunity to visit this place. It's not only kids friendly but has something special for all ages!!

This place is an amazing experience if you are in town, it’s fun for families. The prices are extremely affordable kids below 3 enter free, other kids are $40 (pesos), adults foreigners are ~$137 pesos (~$7 dollars) and local adults are only $80 pesos.
It includes two guided tours:
1) a walking guided tour through the jungle, as you walk by the tell you all about the fauna and ecosystem there.
2) a train tour through the reservation where all animals are not caged, and in their own ecosystems.
The third stop is a recreational area with additional animals and a park with a small shop for food and gifts.
They have bathrooms both at the entry and on the recreational stop.
Bring comfy shoes for walking, and clothes that cover your legs and arms! There are lots of mosquitos and ants around!

3 hour wait to enter the park but it was actually worth it. That was on Easter Sunday. Bad idea. They say the park is empty monday to friday, go then. 4 stars because their organizational skills suck.

Really nice concept and incredibly friendly staff. Unfortunately underfunded and the enclosures especially for the wild cats are quite small. Also I felt bad for the elephant and the giraffe being alone.
Maybe the zoo could start putting up donation boxes where visitors can make donations that can be used towards the improvement of the enclosure etc.
Singapore zoo had a “friends of the zoo” membership when I was a child which I am sure would be a beneficial concept to Yumka too, it is now called Wildlife membership (maybe management could have a look into this).
Further improving F&B outlets would probably increase visitor spending too.
Will definitely be taking my children back either way, but feel like Yumka could be even more magnificent.

Nice place to visit, especially with children. You can see crocodiles and many other animals almost in natural conditions here.

Very nice set-up, seems the animals have a lot of space. A lady attended us in English which was very helpful, since all the signs and tours are in Spanish. A disadvantage is that the area to walk around by yourself is limited and you're stuck on the tour to see the area, so you're not able to look at the animals at your own pace.
