No. 070 Bike Tour in the Mayan World Capital

Enjoy the Magic Town of Valladolid, its market, its cenotes, and its Mayan communities, while riding a bike, guided by an expert, and equipped with a helmet and a reflective vest. The first stop in the tour is the traditional market, where you can buy local fruit, handcrafts, and Valladolid’s traditional food. Ride along the Monks Avenue, take a picture in the tourist human-size letters, and make a stop at the San Bernardino de Siena Convent (Sisal neighborhood), then go to Oxman cenote and take a plunge, once inside, you can jump from a platform holding a Tarzan-like rope. Continue riding to get to the most famous cenotes in Valladolid: X’kekén and Samulá, with gorgeous crystalline waters.

An important part of the tour is the interaction with local inhabitants at the village, which is why, in Dzitnup, you will visit a Mayan house, where you will see how they lived in the past. Besides, you can see how they make hand-made tortillas, and will teach you how to make yours, which you can eat at lunch. In another Mayan house, you will have the opportunity to see how a hammock is made. On the way back, you will visit a small village called Chichimilá, where the guide will explain about the Caste War of Yucatán which started in 1874. This tourist experience is highly fulfilling, as it lets you learn about the most amazing thing of the culture and nature of Valladolid Magic Town, while you ride at your own pace.
