    DO NOT COME here now or postpone your trip if you can if you are serious about visiting Maya sights! A very limited amount of the site is visitable currently because of "covid safety" (this is all outdoors and there aren't tons of visitors, this makes NO sense at all!). You only get access to the field in front of the platforms and no access to the platforms at all. (see the map I photographed to see how shocking this really is!). You're essentially paying for one viewpoint with no interaction or possibility to explore anything of the site at all (see photo). Tonina currently gets only about 20-25 visitors a day, and there's absolutely no justification for this. It's very inconsiderate towards those visitors who made a determined effort to get here. I am totally in favour of a safe visit from a health perspective, but it does need to make sense and be proportionate. INAH (who manages archeological sites in Mexico) needs to put its act together as this seems to be across the board. Honestly, the site is clearly beautiful, but it's impossible to appreciate it fully at the moment. Hopefully this will change soon but give it a pass for now.

    Toninà is closed, closed, closed!!. Nothing to do with the virus- a land political dispute between surrounding landowners and México City's unwillingness to provide enough money for clean up leading into the park. It has been closed since before virus concerns. You can see it in the daytime from outside the park.

    Our guide was so pleasant about the whole area. We were bummed that due to COVID-19 everything closed at 3:00pm and the ruins were much less accessible. There were rumors that everything would be opening back up within a week. Probably only worth the long drive if everything is open. But the ruins are some of the best I've seen in Mexico.

    We loved this place, I don't know why it doesn't get advertised as much as Palenque. Toniná is beautiful, and worth the trip.

    A much underrated experience! Maybe it isn’t considered as impressive as Palenque, but it has a few things to say for it: the central pyramid is taller than the Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacán; there will be no more than a dozen other tourists at any given time; it’s in a beautiful mountain setting, which can be warm but not scorching hot; and best of all, it can be done as a day trip from the beautiful and charming (and affordable) San Cristóbal de las Casas.

😠 For rich people only. I personally contacted the ecotourism association, and was told there is no budget sleeping options (nothing under 750 pesos a night, i.e at least double anything we’ve seen while in mexico). Not even the possibility to hang your hammock. I hope the Lacandon community finds a w...
