Itinerary
Start the Valladolid tour in the morning, meet your guide at your accommodation, and then head to Chichén Itzá. Once there, visit renowned structures such as the Pyramid of Kukulkan and the Great Ball Court, which are fascinating evidence of the great achievements of the Mayan civilization. Our expert guide will lead you through the centuries of history and development, as well as help you understand the amazing architecture, art, and engineering integrated into the city.
Later, make a stop at a local community-run cenote to get away from the crowds and swim in the refreshing blue waters. This is another wonderful experience, with the cenote right at the center of life in this village. This deep sinkhole is full of birds’ nests and tree roots, and it is also surrounded by mysticism and exuberant nature.
Moreover, discover Valladolid, a city where past and present come together to delight us with the sights of colorful colonial buildings and tastes of an incredibly rich gastronomy. Have lunch in the courtyard of a restored colonial mansion, and have the chance to wander the square and nearby streets of the center afterward. Don’t miss great photo opportunities, craft shopping, and a taste of slow-paced Mexican life in this city!
