TimeTours is not just a typical guidebook. Instead, this virtual trip through time brings the past back to life using modern 3D reconstructions. The Now & Then time windows let you experience what the city looked like when ball games and human sacrifices were performed here. The new Now & Then & … bring the time of the rediscovery alive.

The huge 360° panorama views put you right into several important locations of ancient Palenque using the built-in compass feature.

TimeTours is the perfect travel guide on location to get the most out of your visit. If you think old stones alone are a little „dry“, use the treasure hunt and minigames as an entertaining diversion.

Use TimeTours at home or in your hotel and browse through a wealth of information and media while listening to Mayan rhythms. The music was created by David Kneupper, the composer for a popular Maya Jump&Run game.
