Get your kicks... from Chitchen Itz...
This is a top pick! ... The Top 5 So, to the Top 5. Ruins. Ancient ruins. They've been an integral part of my trip. And now, as I leave Valladolid, unlikely that I will see another ruin for the rest of this trip, I reflect upon the best; the worst. Indeed, there have ...
Get There Early
This is a top pick! Out towards the centre of the Yucatan Peninsula there are two Mayan ruins, Ek Balam and Chichen Itza, so we headed to Valladolid a town which is conveniently located near both. Arriving in this picturesque place we easily found a cheap hotel for the ...
Chichen Izta and Chicken Buses Part 1
This is a top pick! ... , but first I must talk about Chichen Itza. After a sad fairwell to Lou I jumped on the next bus available for Valladolid, which was unfortuantely a local bus that stopped everywhere on route and didn't take the highway. I got to Valladolid quite late ...
Ek Balam

Chichen Itza to Valladolid

Spring Equinox at Chichen Itza

Day 3: Mi nombre es Optimus Prime
... by while we watched Transformers (dubbed into Spanish), and ate the remainder of the Pineapple pizza. So, now we find ourselves in Valladolid. It´s a cute, cozy little town that seems to be far less touristy than some of our more recent visits. We found ...
Valladolid et cenotes Dzitnup
... tres plaisante et reposante, avec de plus de jolies maisons de style colonial de toutes les couleurs. A vrai dire la ville de Valladolid me servira surtout de base pour visiter les attractions de la région dont les ruines mayas de Chichen Itza et Coba. ...
Wet
Arriving in Valladolid we annoyingly discovered that the bus station had been moved from right beside the zócalo to a 20 minute walk away. However it didn´t seem too far when we were still fresh from the air conditioned bus so we decided to walk. Oh my ...
Rio Lagartos
Rio Lagartos small village with eco reserve on coast for birds. Went on a 4hr boat trip - saw crocodiles (fab!), pink flamingoes , herons and lots of other birdlife (See photos). We went floating in water with hunners of salt, probably the output from ...

... us off. Pissed off, we caught the 5:35 p.m. bus from the parking lot bound for Cancun which dropped us off in Valladolid, 30 minutes away. Chichen Itza will have to wait until tomorrow. Hostel La Candeleria was closed but a man at a cafe recommended ...
Valladolid
... virgins, the cenotes (natural wells), a large court where they played some kind of a ball game and an observatory. We were back in Valladolid by the early afternoon for a quick meal and a dip in the pool to cool us down. In the ...
Cantankerous Cenote!
I arrived in Valedolid (i town i only heard about yesterday) at 5 this morning, 'fresh' from an eleven hour night bus and made my way to Antonio's Guesthouse, about which the Lonely Planet wrote " this cantakerous character rents the cheapest rooms in ...
Cenotes and storms
... meant the cenotes, underground caves with pools you can swim in were superb. We cycled out to them from the lovely town of Valladolid, a lot more laid back than Cancun, and had a good swim there. Could have just done with another swim when we cycled back ...
Valladolid and Chichen Itza
... much since. We were up at dawn the next morning to catch the early bus to Chichen Itza, one of Mexico's best Mayan ruins. Being in Valladolid gave us about a 2 ½ hour headstart on the tour groups coming from the coast. Everything went according ...
cave swimming

I Don't Have The Shits
... 's owners, we all hit the sack. The next day we (me, Kane, Geoff, Rich and Ulrik) got a bus to a little town called Valladolid, where we are now. Although there's not a huge amount to do here, I really like it because it's the first place that ...
Ruins and Cenotes
... of us. Some sections were deep enough to allow us to jump safely from a platform about 8 or 9 meters above the water. Valladolid is a pretty layed-back town. The main plaza is overlooked by a gigantic Catholic church looking like it should be in ...
Valladolid - Chichen Itza
... enough to stay in the right hostels), I decided to finally start the trip and leave for a village/little town called Valladolid. Very nice typical mexican village, where everyone I met was kind of half my size...and all wearing old typical ...
The calm eye of the tourist storm
Valladolid is a sleepy, mid-size Mexican town in the center of the tourist circuit of the Yucatan Mayan ruins. Not many tourists stop here, so it made a nice respite from the party-mad and photo-mad tourist groups. There's not loads to do here, but ...
