Discover Valladolid
Also known as “The Capital of the Eastern Maya,” Valladolid is a beautiful and peaceful colonial town. It is one of the oldest towns on the Yucatán Peninsula and, along with Izamal, one of only two “Magical Towns” in the state.
It boasts stunning colonial architecture, thanks to its beautiful colonial buildings, museums, historic neighborhoods, parks, and colorful houses.
Yucatan's best kept secret
Strategically located between Merida and Cancun, this colonial city puts you just 30 minutes from Chichen Itza, one of the wonders of the world, and steps away from some of Mexico's most spectacular cenotes.
But Valladolid is much more than just a good location.
Here you can:
- Swim in crystal-clear cenotes hidden deep in the jungle
- Stroll past colonial mansions, bustling squares, and vibrant murals.
- Explore nature reserves, 16th-century convents, and archaeological sites such as Ek Balam.
