Valladolid, Mexico

Photography Tour in Valladolid

The best photos of Valladolid aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

A pastel-colored colonial town in the Yucatan, midway between Merida and Cancun, with cenotes, Mayan heritage, and a slower pace than the coast.

Top Photography Tour Spots

•Cenote Zaci — a semi-open cenote in the heart of the city with turquoise water and hanging stalactites
•Convent of San Bernardino de Siena — a 16th-century Franciscan convent, one of the oldest in the Americas, with a cenote beneath its grounds
•Calzada de los Frailes — a diagonal street of restored colonial buildings connecting the main square to the convent

Hidden Photography Tour Gems

•Cenote Suytun — a cenote just outside town with a single beam of light illuminating a stone platform in an underground cavern
•Ek Balam — a Mayan archaeological site 30km north with a remarkably preserved stucco facade on its main pyramid, far less crowded than Chichen Itza
