Valladolid Tour plus Chichen Itza and Cenotes
The Valladolid tour was made to discover three different environments in one day. First, the ruins of Chichén Iztá, the most emblematic Mayan city selected as one of the New Wonders of the World. Then, the beautiful colonial city of Valladolid to see its well-preserved cathedral and convent. And, finally, swim in a freshwater cenote.
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. An 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!
