Surrounding the areas of the ruins is the Palenque National Park, which covers some 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres). Hiking is very popular here due to its dense jungle vegetation and the abundance of plant and animal species that inhabit the area, with various bird species, howler monkeys and jaguar.
