What to Expect When Visiting Valladolid, Yucatan, Mexico
With this nice combination of Archaeology and Nature you will have a good insight about Yucatán, nowadays and how it was centuries ago.
Stop At: Chichen Itza, Chichen Itza, Yucatan Peninsula
Our first stop is Chichen Itza. We’ll arrive at about opening time so besides having the archaeological site for your own you’ll also avoid the heat. A multilingual certified guide (+- 1 1/2hrs) will explain you about the Itzáes, the ancient inhabitants of Chichén Itzá, their impressive 30m/98ft high Castle of Kukulcán (and its solar calendar reflected in it), the largest Ball Court in Mesoamerica and the Temple of the Warriors.
After the guided visit you’ll have +- 1hr free time.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Cenote Yokdzonot, Calle 20 S/N Between 27 & 29, Yokdzonot 97922 Mexico
After visiting the archaeological site, we’ll go to a remote cenote. A quiet place to rest or take a refreshing dip. There we will have lunch made by the local Mayan women community.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Izamal, Izamal, Yucatan Peninsula
This yellow city with its 16th century convent constructed on a Mayan pyramid and having the second largest atrium in the world, is one of the first Magical Towns of Mexico.
We will show you some Mayan structures you still can climb. One of these is the third largest building in Mesoamerica (in terms of volume).
Before we head back to Valladolid, you´ll have the opportunity to admire the beautiful work of one of the very talented local artisans Izamal offers:
– Cocoyol: jewelry made from local fruit seeds and spine of henequen.
– Miniatures: small-scale artwork.
