Valladolid Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Say yes to this cenote!

There are many cenote’s in Yucatan. The precise location of the #Selvamaya #cenote is Carretera Federal, Valladolid - Merida Km. 3.5, 97780 Valladolid, Yuc., Mexico. It is BEAUTIFUL! As you arrive, you’ll find a complex that contains shops, showers and a cafeteria. The staff will show you where to store your belongings and where to shower. Once you’ve rinsed off, you’ll follow a wooden staircase that descends into the cenote. A cenote is a natural sinkhole that exposes groundwater- it is basically a pit in the ground that houses fresh water and wildlife. They are wonderful swimming holes. This particular cenote is covered in vegetation. Colorful birds swoop down and nest on the walls of the cenote, which are dripping with fresh water. It literally feels like a movie. As you follow the stairs down, you’ll see numerous places to either jump in or to carefully step into the waters. A few fish swim around, but they are smaller than a person’s hand. Photographers will be ready to take photos, and you are allowed to relax and float in the water as long as you like. The cenote is wide open, so the warm Mexican sun shines into it, making it almost magical. This is truly one of the simplest and most breathtaking natural wonders that our world has to offer. After you’ve enjoyed your time in the cenote, you can follow the stairs back up, get dressed and enjoy a very tasty meal at the cafeteria. Their buffet is huge- complete with soup, salad, meat options and a variety of sides like beans, rice and tortillas. Drinks are served as well. Try the lime soup- it’s so good! A few shops offer small mementos if you’d like something to remember the experience aside from pictures. This cenote is reached by a ~2 hour ride from #cancun - we booked an excursion that includes the cenote. I would absolutely recommend visiting this cenote or another one- there are many in the #yucatan region of Mexico!

Valladolid - amazing dancers

#mytripvlog #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #mexico #mexicoculture #valladolid #dancers Amazing Mexican dancers in Valladolid, Yucatan Peninsula.

On the way to Mexico by car to Chichen Itza, we passed a colorful town: Valladolid, which also has a city of the same name in Spain. There are no high-rises in the town, and the central square and government buildings are colonial architecture. The streets have also been painted in color, and for a moment it seems to have come to Guanajuato or Cuba, and the streets often encounter retro buses and beetle cars. Most of the town's shops sell coco and Frida's surrounding souvenirs, and people live a slow life. There are many Mayan civilization sites in the surrounding area, which is a must for many self-driving tourists.

Peaceful in the city!

Beautiful convent in the city center of Valladolid. Great for pictures and it has some historical significance too. The street leading up to the convent is full of boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. #offthebeatenpath #strubetraveladventures

Cenote Samal, Mexico

My wonderful visit to Cenote Samal was an unforgettable experience. It is an amazing natural landmark located on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Cenote Samal is one of the most popular places in the region due to its natural beauty and the charming effect it has on visitors. Afterwards, she decided to explore the caves surrounding Cenote Samal. These caves were incredibly beautiful, offering amazing landscapes and unique rock formations, with each corner revealing new beauty. I could not ignore the pervasive serenity and tranquility of the place. The weather was very calm and comfortable, which made me very happy and relaxed. I had a pleasant time at Cenote Samal and felt refreshed and invigorated after this exciting experience. Visiting Cenote Samal was an unforgettable and impressive experience for me. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful place for nature and adventure lovers, where you can discover amazing tranquility and beauty.

Beautiful Valladolid in Yucatán Peninsula

Valladolid must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit in Yukatan. This is a day trip so it is recommended to have a half day available for the tour. You will see colonial buildings with an ornate wooden balconies and tropical trees and flowers. It is more comfortable to visit this place in the morning or late afternoon as the weather is quite hot. After the visit, you can also enjoy some shopping or nice food as there are many restaurants and shops around the area. Bring your walking shoes and camera because there is too many places to visit around. #createwithtrip #mexico #yucatan #valladolid
