The modern centre is laid out in regular rectangular blocks around a main square, a clean pattern on the flat land below the hills.

About this Palenque map poster
Palenque sits in northern Chiapas, where the flat lowlands meet the first forested hills of the Sierra. From above, the modern town is a neat grid of streets and blocks on level ground, with a main road leading west toward the dense green slopes that hide the ancient site.
The ruins of Palenque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lie a few kilometres outside the town. Its Temple of the Inscriptions holds the tomb of the ruler K’inich Janaab’ Pakal, one of the most celebrated finds in Maya archaeology. A Palenque map poster shows the town and the road linking it to that forest-covered city.
Beyond the grid, the map fills with the looser lines of rural roads and streams running out of the hills. The contrast between the orderly town and the rainforest beyond gives the print a clear structure, with the ancient site as a quiet focal point.

Road to the ruins
A single road leaves the town and heads into the forested hills, connecting the modern streets with the Maya archaeological site.
Forest edge
The hills west of town are covered in rainforest, and the sudden absence of streets on the map marks where settlement gives way to jungle.

Why Palenque
A map that means something
Palenque is a place many travellers remember for the moment the ruins appeared through the trees. A map of the town and its road to the ancient city is a lasting reminder of that visit, or of home for those who live there.
Personalise the poster with a title, subtitle and coordinates, perhaps the date of your trip. Five styles are available, Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand, as $9 HD files in six sizes or as a printed poster.
