Valladolid Yucatan was founded in 1543 and has been a prosperous city for centuries,with haciendas producing henequen or sisal fiber, which made many families in the area extremely wealthy. You can visit haciendas and colonial houses and enjoy its small town feeling, while walking on the cobbled streets. Valladolid has been named \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pueblo Magico\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, a town with charm that is under the protection of the government to preserve the rich architecture and traditions throughout the region.<\/p>\n

A few minutes away from Valladolid, you will find two magnificent cenotes: Xkeken and Dzitnup. You can take a cab or bike to the entrance of the cenotes and enjoy a day of relaxation in their clear waters.<\/p>\n

Finally Ek Balam, is a little further away, is a massive archeological site, with huge pyramids where you can observe beautiful frescoes and impressive Mayan warriors sculptures. There are also cenotes to have a refreshing dip in after climbing up the pyramids.<\/p>\n
