The city
Valladolid is a colonial town in eastern Yucatán, about 40 km from Chichén Itzá, founded by the Spaniards in 1543. It has low houses painted in bright colors, the main square with the church of San Servacio and the Calzada de los Frades, which leads to the convent of San Bernardino de Siena. Within the town is the cenote Zací, and nearby are Suytun, Xkekén and Samulá. It is the most used base for Chichén Itzá and Ek Balam.

The local experience
16th-century Franciscan convent in the Sisal neighborhood, at the end of the Calzada de los Frades, with a church featuring a fortified façade, a cloister and a cenote in the courtyard.
Semi-open cenote in the center of Valladolid, a few blocks from the main square, with rock walls, stalactites and deep green water.
Cave cenote about 8 km from Valladolid, with a stone walkway to a circular platform in the middle of the water, sometimes lit by a beam of light from the ceiling.
Maya city north of Valladolid, with the Acropolis and the tomb of Ukit Kan Le'k Tok', decorated with stucco sculptures of winged figures and a large monster mouth.
