This tour notes tickets are included, but carry small cash for optional local fees, lockers, or market purchases.
Infants must sit on laps; the provider advises against travelers with spinal injuries and recommends moderate fitness for the uneven terrain.
The watercourses carve through limestone and travertine; nearby Palenque preserves Classic Maya architecture from the 7th–8th centuries, evidence of long human presence in the region.
