Find the best things to do in Valladolid Mexico here. Valladolid is nestled in the eastern part of the Yucutan in Mexico. There are about 45,000 residents here, including the surrounding small communities. It’s also only 40 kilometers from Chichen Itza, one of the seven world wonders. Here are the best things to do in Valladolid from our perspective:

6: Visiting Cenote Suytun. This cenote has become a social media sensation in recent years because of its unique man-made platform that extends to the middle of the water. If it’s a sunny day, the light will shine through the cenote roof directly onto the platform. You can also visit Cenote Kaapeh right next to it. It’s included in the price of admission and definitely worth the visit as it has jungle vines and trees growing out of it.

5: The 5th best activity we did in Valladolid was Rio Lagartos. It took about an hour and a half to drive through the Yucatan jungle to the small fishing town and then we hopped on a boat tour once we got there. On the tour, we saw alligators, flamingos, pelicans, and even a small pink lake.

4. Exploring the city of Valladolid. This city blew our minds with how colorful it was! We took a free walking tour and learned about the Spanish and Mayan history of the city. It was also a great experience to visit the Convento de San Bernadino de Siena in the evening. The town puts on a light show every night, telling the story of the city and how it came to be.

3: Cenote Xkeken. This unique cave cenote had giant stalactites cascading from the roof as well as long vines that extended all the way into the water. It was a magical experience to swim amongst the vines and look up to the sunlight above. We also purchased a discounted ticket to Cenote Samula, which was within a 5 minute walk. It was worth it to see the one of the brightest blue cenotes we’ve seen so far in the Yucatan.

2. Visiting Chichen Itza. This world wonder was immaculately kept, especially the main pyramid of El Castillo. Standing at 98 feet tall, it stands alone in the center of the ruins and is extremely beautiful. The crowds were large due to its world wonder status, but we still had a great tour experience thanks to our knowledgeable guide who looped us into some fascinating Mayan history.

1. The best activity to do in Valladolid is visiting the ancient ruins of Ek Balam. We ranked this number one because of how much it surprised us. It felt much larger than Chichen Itza, had amazing rock art, and we were allowed to climb up the stairs on both of the major pyramids. Being able to touch and feel the structures brought us closer to understanding the true beauty and intricacy of the Mayan culture.
