Highlights of your Valladolid tours

Valladolid

This is a charming colonial town in the Yucatán that blends history, culture, and natural beauty. Its colorful streets, shaded plazas, and grand churches reflect its Spanish heritage, while cenotes and Mayan ruins nearby make it a gateway to adventure.

Chichén Itzá

Your Valladolid tours also include a two-and-a-half-hour guided tour of Chichén Itzá, an ancient Mayan city that flourished between 600–1200 CE. Spanning 4-5 square kilometers today, this site is a time capsule that takes you back to a world of stunning architecture, trade, ritual, and sacrifice.

A swim in a cenote

Another highlight of your Valladolid tour is a swim in a cenote - natural sinkholes created when a bed of limestone rock collapses, revealing the groundwater beneath. You’ll find these exclusively in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Cenotes were sacred to the ancient Maya, but today, you can swim, snorkel, and cool off in one, giving you a much-needed break from the heat.

A Mexican-style buffet

Your tour also includes an authentic Mexican buffet lunch to give you a taste of the local cuisine and refuel you for the remainder of your day.

Understanding local taxes

When you visit Chichén Itzá as part of your Valladolid tour, you will need to pay local taxes on site via credit card. These are not included in the ticket price. The Chichén Itzá, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Lunch from Cancun requires a tax of $42 USD per adult and $7 USD per child. On the other hand, the Chichén Itzá, Cenote & Valladolid Tour with Lunch from Riviera Maya requires a tax of $39 USD per adult and $6 USD per child, payable at the site during your visit.

Plan Your Visit to Chichén Itzá

Tips for your Valladolid tour 

  • Carry adequate cash on your trip, including the smaller denominations in the Mexican Peso, as some places may not accept credit cards or e-payments. 
  • You’ll also need enough cash ($9 UD) to rent the life jacket for your stop at the cenote. This is mandatory if you plan on taking a dip in the sinkhole. 
  • Carry a hat with you, as the Yucatán sun can be quite sharp, especially during the dry months between November and March. Also, don’t forget to keep yourself hydrated. 
  • If you’re staying in Valladolid and plan on exploring more of Yucatán from there, you can rent a car to get around. Rentals will cost you anywhere between 1,000 - 1,500 Pesos, including insurance.
