Hi good day
Could you tell me if you think it is advisable to take a child of 5 years to the tours that you comment on both San Cristobal and Palenque, or if there is any risk, danger or inconvenience in traveling with children to this area.
regards
Hi Ivette, what would worry me the most are the distances due to the fact that it is a very heavy trip for a child of 5 years if he does not have the habit of roads: a lot of curve and many kilometers. According to values, otherwise he is calm.
Any questions I try to support you. Best regards.
