This enchanting town, nestled between Mérida and Cancun, lies in close proximity to Chichén Itzá. At first sight, Valladolid appears similar to any other Spanish colonial city scattered across Latin America, complete with its main square, cathedral, cobblestone streets, and vibrant buildings. However, it possesses a distinct feature that sets it apart - a cenote located just a few blocks away from its city center.

You also have the opportunity to explore numerous cenotes, natural pools carved by time, scattered throughout this region of Mexico. While they serve as swimming spots today, in the past they were used for Mayan sacrificial rituals. You can also get a feel for the city life during a 12-hour tour in Valladolid. The bustling hub of activity is the Parque Francisco Canton Rosado, conveniently situated right opposite the cathedral.

The Calzada de los Frailes is the most vivacious and inviting spot in Valladolid, offering shops, eateries, bars, and plenty of picturesque locations perfect for an Instagram-worthy selfie.

When it comes to dining, our recommendation would be the Ix Cat Ik Restaurant.
