Valladolid, the third largest city of the Yucatán region, welcomes travelers with a surprising array of possibilities. Although vacationers continue to see it as a convenient junction town between Río Lagartos, Chichén Itzá, Ek Balam and the cenotes of Samulá and X’Kekén – it has much more to offer. The grand Convent of San Bernardino of Siena dating back to the 16th century and the San Gervasio Cathedral with its Gothic architecture are must-visit destinations. Walk down to the town’s resident sinkhole, Cenote Zaci, where you can also enjoy a quick dip! Soak up Valladolid’s distinctive Yucatán cultural heritage as well as its aromatic coffee and delicious ice cream as you walk along the cobblestoned streets dotted with quirky cafés. Let down your hair at day’s end with a margarita or two at any of the trendy restaurants and bars lining the central square.
