Catazajá

Catazajá is a small and sleepy village of 17,000 people (2015) in Chiapas, Mexico close to Palenque. There is a big lagoon with wildlife next to the village.

UnderstandEdit

Many travellers will come through this village because the ADO bus station is closed in Palenque so the only inexpensive way to Campeche or Mérida from Palenque is via the village.

Get inEdit

Taxi from Palenque city. From the ADO bus station it should take about 20 minutes.

Colectivos are available from Palenque city.
