Valladolid!

Valladolid is a small but really cute and sweet town with cenotes, a great market, a few cool attractions and a very relaxed and friendly vibe. And neither expensive nor overrun by too many tourists. 😊 When I arrived in Valladolid, I had just come from Cancún – not a fan – and was very pleasantly surprised by…. honestly everything. The town is really small, but it has a lot of charm and is one of THE cenote oases. My tip: hire a bike and visit them all. Worried about arriving drenched in sweat because of the heat? Don’t worry, the cenotes will cool you down ;D

Chichén-Itzá

Really big, but super overcrowded and way too pricy and very touristy. Yet I included it as the majority of you probably wants to see it for it's worldwonder status anyways. Via "Read more" you'll directly get to the post.
