What our travelers think of their stay

It is really pleasant to walk about this colorful colonial town. And Valladolid is perfectly situated near to Yucatan's main Mayan archaeological sites.

My suggestion

I decided to go to the Main Square at sundown and a surprising concert was waiting for me. Perched in the branches, flocks of birds started to sing at the tops of their voices, an unexpected but welcome cacophony!

Valladolid is a city in the state of Yucatan in northeast Mexico. Ideally located, it serves as a reasonably pleasant place in which to stay when visiting the beautiful sites of the Yucatan Peninsula.

My suggestion

Like Merida, Yucatan has managed to keep its soul intact thanks to its colonial architecture, but apart from that there is relatively little reason to spend much time here. It's a good place from which to get to Chichcn Itza, but that's about it.
