== Hitchhiking from town to El Panchan/Palenque ruins and vice versa ==
El Panchan is the where a lot of the hostels/ camping places are located a few kms from the ruins. There are a lot of possibilities to wildcamp around there too. It is easy to hitch the 6kms on the only road from there to Palenque, and vice versa.
From El Panchan, there is a park entry toll-point just past the turnoff for the road to the hostels/camping, so the traffic will be going slow at the turnoff where you will be standing to get a lift into town. Many tourists will be returning to town in hired cars from the ruins. Also, locals working at the ruins will pick you up more than the tourists.
