How to reach El Panchan, Palenque
We took the Aviasca airline at 3.35 pm and reached Villahermosa at 5pm. Pretty good airline and it was on time. On reaching the Villahermosa airport, we took the easier option of prepaid taxis and it cost us 150 pesos to reach the ADO bus stop. There are two prepaid taxi counters once you exit the Villahermosa airport and the rate is fixed. The ride takes about fifteen minutes. Be sure to specify it’s the ADO bus stop to Palenque.On reaching the bus stop we booked tickets for the 7.30 bus to Palenque. We also booked the ticket from Palenque to Merida at the same time for the next leg of the journey. The cost of the ticket to Palenque is 94 pesos per person and the second ticket cost us 342 per person.The ADO bus terminal is pretty comfortable but they do not allow you into the airconditioned waiting room till before half an hour of your departure. At the bus stop we had a security check by the immigration guys !!! We had read someplace to expect such check by the military along the way so this wasn’t a big surprise. They just made sure we were there legally and all our papers were in order. The ADO bus is very good and comfortable, and took us two hours to reach Palenque.
Palenque town is quite big and active at 10pm. We were a little hesitant to reach so late but took the chance. There are many cabs at the bus stop and we took one to El Panchan for 50 pesos.
