Leaf Cutter Ants

Staying in the jungle is sooo cool!! Took a taxi out to El Panchan a few km's from town. We have a jungle cabin of our own with a shared bathroom, a couple of restaurants nearby and other cabins hidden away, have to step over the leaf cutter ants on the pathways. It's so amazing green and lots of pretty flowers, lobsters claws, birds of paradise (I keep forgetting their proper name), but all very "rainforest".
Took a tour to the Palenque Ruins, very nice, set in the rainforest so could cool off in the shade. Also went to Misol-Ha and Agua Azul waterfalls, Could walk behind Misol-Ha but might as well have gone swimming, and "Agua Azul" not very "blue water" due to all the rain lately more "Agua Cafe".
Do not recommend anyone ever spends more time in the town of Palenque than absolutely necessary, super hot and not a lot to see, unless you're doing a study on deformities (ever seen "Wrong Turn"?) ok that was a little harsh, I'm sure they don't kill people and it is unfortunate, but there's something wrong there, we sure as hell didn't drink any of the water!
