Palenque is a Maya archeological site near the Usumacinta River in the Mexican state of Chiapas, about 130 km south of Ciudad del Carmen. It is a medium sized site, much smaller than such huge sites as Tikal or Copán, but it contains some of the finest architecture, sculpture, and stucco reliefs the Maya produced.
