Mexico's well-preserved Mayan ruins serve as a beautiful reminder of Central and South America's unique history and cultural heritage. While Chichén Itzá is the most famous (and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World), it's also busy and often over-crowded with tourists. For something a little more off-the-beaten-track, look no further than Palenque. This beautiful region is in the southern state of Chiapas, which shares a border with Guatemala. Not only is it home to some incredible Mayan ruins, but it's also where you'll find Agua Azul — a series of stunning limestone waterfalls with impossibly blue water. Hidden in the jungle along the Xanil River, this is the perfect place to cool off in Mexico's tropical climate.
