I have been to 8 of these spots in Yucatan. Valladolid also has a beautiful plaza where historic churches make up one entire side of the square. There's a leather shop nearby where you can buy some handmade sandals at a bargain. A restaurant near the plaza (south I think) has wonderful POC CHOC--delicious marinated beaten thin slices of pork served with all kinds of great side dishes. Their drinks are COLD--especially the mojitos and margaritas. A sweet lady sits on the ground patting out homemade tortillas. Forgot to say this is all in a very nice garden with plants, lizards, trickling water fountains and nice music. FRESH FOOD! YUM!
Valladolid is a hidden gem in Yucatan. It definitely is a place that's worth to take to time to explore all of its nooks and crannies, and that's no small task, also because there are so many places around Valladolid that are worth visiting.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Valladolid is charming indeed! Very beautiful streets and so many things to do around it. Thanks for subscribing. Welcome to our channel! We will check out your videos as well
I hear a really great way to travel around all these sites near Valladolid is to rent a moped for 400pesos and drive yourself to both Ek Balam (30mins) and Chizen Itza (45mins) - thanks for the video, planning my trip for later this month!
We did it as part of a tour. Definitely recommend getting a guide though as it’s very interesting to learn about 😊 there are many guides at the entrance and they always let you wait for some additional people to share the cost!
Not that we found, but we visited during covid so there was less public transport in general. We took a shared taxi with other tourists so we could split the cost. I can imagine there are collectivos though!
We have another video about best things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula which covers many more places! ua-cam.com/video/XKY5bJBsLQ4/v-deo.html We found Valladolid to be a great hub to base ourselves for activities within a short distance from the town center. We also think Yucatan is extremely beautiful! Thanks for stopping by our channel 👍
Wonderful views are very beautiful music
Thanks! It's a must-visit! ;)

Glad to hear that you had a good time and liked my hometown. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
We loved Valladolid! You have a beautiful hometown. Thanks for watching 😊
@@worldwildhearts Thanks for answering! Take care

Agreed! We loved Valladolid. Such a beautiful city with so many attractions nearby 👍👍
We loved Valladolid and the cenotes are awesome, great video, thanks 😉
Glad you enjoyed Valladolid! It’s a hidden gem of the Yucatan for sure. Great city!
... You can use the dron on ek balam... Surely great shots.
Really? Ah we didn’t know! Would have been a cool shot indeed
Absolutely amazing!! Chichen Itza and the Cenotes are on my bucket list!! I hadn't ever heard of Ek Balam, so cool that you could climb it!
Ek Balam was a true hidden gem! Was also not on our radar, but we were told by locals how awesome it was. Definitely a must see in the area 👍
My husband and I are 2 of the 3 gringos living in Ek Balam. It's a truly magical place!
That’s awesome!😊
Great guide!
Thanks so much! Glad it is helpful for you :)
Amazing 😻
Thanks 🤗

Sounds like a great plan! The roads there are in good shape and relatively quiet so can definitely imagine that's a good idea!
Well done. Great video. We wish enjoy like you in our second travel to Yucatan. Great job couple!!
Thank you! We loved Valladolid. Such a cool city and so colourful. How long ago did you visit the Yucatan?
Hy, we visit yucatan for a week, then we also visit tulum and cozumel. We love Mexico, and we want to repeat the Caribbean paradise experience.
Great vid! How did you get around? What would you recommend? :)
You can easily get around Valladolid on foot or local collectivo / taxi. It's not very expensive to get a taxi.
did you hire a guide for Chichen Itza when you got there or was it part of a day tour?
We did it as part of a tour. Definitely recommend getting a guide though as it’s very interesting to learn about 😊 there are many guides at the entrance and they always let you wait for some additional people to share the cost!
Are there colectivos/combis that go out to chichen itza and back to Valladolid? And are there some that go out to ek balm ruins and back?
Not that we found, but we visited during covid so there was less public transport in general. We took a shared taxi with other tourists so we could split the cost. I can imagine there are collectivos though!
I rode with a collectivo to and back from chichen itza
Welcom to morroco
Welcome to our channel!
@@worldwildhearts oooh thank you❤️🔥
Your video should be called best tings to do in Yucatan, instead of Valladolid. Yucatan is beautiful.

If you have to drive an hour away from where you’re recommending then it’s not the place you’re recommending!!!
