Cenoten und Innenstadt
In Valladolid angekommen hat es uns gleich viel besser gefallen. Es ist einer kleinere Stadt mit weniger Autoverkehr und ein paar netten Plaetzen zum entspannen. Wir sind dann auch gleich wieder aktiv geworden und haben uns die ersten Cenoten ...
Valladolid - Afkoeling gezocht!
... vrouwelijk) op een bepaald moment bijna verdubbeld is … Hierna moet ik natuurlijk afkoelen J. Gelukkig zijn er ook in (de omgeving van) Valladolid genoeg cenotes (de ondergrondse grotten). Mexico heeft echt voor alles een ...
Chichen Itza and Cenote Dzitnup
My vote to go to the lesser known ruins of Ek-Balam were trumped by the driver's desire to go to Chichen Itza. I had been there once before as a kid, but I didn't really remember it. The iconic Castillode Kukulcan inspires awe as you first ...

Valladolid & the Cenotes Dzitnup & Samula
We took a colectivo from Valladolid to the cenotes. Cenote Dzitnup is a pool of crystal clear water in an underground cave where the roof is covered with amazing stalacmite formations and light streams in from a hole in the centre of the roof in a ...
Valladolid
After seeing the ruins at Chichén Itzá, we decided to spend the night in Yucatán's 'second city' of Valladolid as it's, well, the logical place to spend the night if you're heading east after going to Chichén Itzá. That's a formidable reputation ...
We go native

A Day of Ruins (2 of 3)
... tripod Nazi's are not my favorite people right now!!! Note to self…. Buy small tripod to fit in bag for next trip to Mexico. The ruins of Ek Balom were much cooler than the ruins at Chitzen Itzu. There were very few people there, and no vendors at ...
A Day of Ruins (3 of 3)
After Aislynn and I had finished seeing all we wanted to see at the ruins we headed for Valadolid were we stopped for lunch at a hotel in the middle of the town square called El Mason. The Guacamole was great and they made it right in front of you. ...
Colonial towns, ruins and a cenote!
Since we had a holiday Monday my husband and I decided to visit Valladolid and Ek Balam for the long weekend. Valladolid is a great city and we had a wonderful time. The cathedral in the main square has just been restored and is striking at night; you ...
Tourist over run ruins!
We stayed in Piste to visit the mayan ruins of chicken itza, they were lovely ruins but they were totally over run with tourists in comparision to pallanque, uxmal and all the others we had visited so they just didn't seem as beautiful. Also, so ...
Stop-over for the night
Monday, 21 March Woke up at 7 am in order to get ready for my next ruins at Chichen Itza. While waiting for a coffee, I suddenly met Thomas from AEGEE-Aachen at the dorm - he was sleeping in the same room that night, in the bed rght below mine, and ...
Ay say ay say ay say
... couple iof days to see a couple of the smaller sites in the area first so that they dont suffer in comparison. Valladolid is rather lovely. Its a colonial city centred around the cathedral and wide municipal square surrounded by long low collonades . Its ...
Short visit in Valladolid
... looks a bit like it. It is a charming city, with a nice townhall house which explains the history of Mexico in a huge painting. The church of Valladolid is probably the most carachteristic of the city. Furthermore there is nice small park, with the "Banco ...
Another day, another colonial town...
... Cubanas - I politely declined but it was good chat. Don Felipe gave me his card - I felt honoured - genuinely. Next stop Valladolid for Chichen Itzŕ (yet another colonial town, but not a very touristy one...). Time is catching up on me ...
Ruins

Real coffee and scorpions
... a good view. It was one of the hotels in the central area - maybe Catedral Hotel? Am actually having a pretty good time overall - Valladolid is pretty much what you'd expect a city in Spain to be like. Cobblestone streets and a big old plaza and a ...
A day of culture
Day of Culture, (have to try everything once) Chichen Itza. Arrived in Valladolid and decided that because we were so close to Chichen Itza that we must go and see it, as its one of the largest Mayan sites in Mexico. We thought we better go early so we ...
On the road again
Had bit of a sleep in today before heading to the bus station for the move to the colonial town of Valladolild. The bus ride only took about 2 hours. Today was the first time I realized how good the GPS could be on my phone. On the bus ride I picked a ...
Valladolid
I got the 9.10 bus from Tulum and arrived at Valladolid. This city is awesome! It's so colonial and alive and Mexican and not soo touristic as the previous places I was. I really like it. And I got a single room for 100pesos which makes it even cheaper ...
Scenes of Valladolid
