Panamerican 20,000 - Palenque, The stop at the Maya pyramids

Palenque, 12th October 2006

The team stopped for a short visit of the city of San Cristobal de las Casas, with its unique urban structure, low houses with only one floor, buildings and churches. Finally the tour leaves in the direction of the archaeological site of Palenque. The landscape is hilly and the two 599 GTB Fiorano come all the way down from the 2.000 metres in altitude in San Cristóbal to 200 metres in Palenque. Along the road pine trees and firs accompany the cars. The vegetation here looks just like that of Southern Europe. The street narrows and the ups and downs continue with lots of turns and without break.

There are many speed bumps along the road, called "tope" in the local language. According to the local people this is the road with the most speed bumps in Mexico. The tour arrives in Palenque just in time to visit its archaeological site and the two Ferraris arrive at the ancient Maya pyramids.
