Valladolid! 16th century colonial Spanish city that was a…read moreMayan city before this - this place has been around forever. This town park has such a history behind it. Like a typical town square, it has the church on one side of it, and a fountain in the middle of it. The fountain has a woman pouring water from a vase, with frogs on all sides of her spitting water at her. Weird. When we went, some locals came out in their Sunday best (it was Palm Sunday) and did a little dance in front of the fountain to some recorded music. It looks like the park might close in the evenings or so, they have big ol' iron gates and a fence that circumnavigates the park. They have these unique S shaped benches where two people can sit and face each other and still be a respectable distance away. Surrounding the park are lots of little shops and stores full of souvenirs. We got dumped off here by the tour operator while the bus basically did laps around the square and gave us enough time to stick our heads in the various shops. Don't avoid the Valladolid!

It's a square in the main town of Valladolid. Close to many hotels and pretty much next to the…read moreshopping blocks, it's a good place to relax. We went here as a part of the tour. Many tour buses are parked here. In 15 minutes we didn't get much time but the park is good. There are many benches to sit. The two-person seats are very interesting - very much photo-worthy. We got some locally made chips from a vendor which was good - quality and quantity - for 15 pesos. The shops around are good to purchase gifts and souvenirs. I suppose they'd bargain too if you can. Other than that, there are many restaurants, eateries, and hotels around to roam. The park is heavily patrolled for some reason as we saw heavy police deployment with automatic weapons even on a seemingly regular day. Overall, very much recommended.

We shopped at the Super Che market where the selection was good and prices reasonable. It was also fairly new, well lit and had helpful friendly helpful cashiers. If you need basic home items and need a break from being gouged at the hotel or motel you are staying at, then shop here. Sometimes it's nicer to pay 10 pesos for a bottle of Coca Cola rather than 25 at your hotel.

Lovely Church and Beautiful Park in a Peaceful and Charming Neighbourhood!…read more During my time in Valladolid (November 15-18), I stayed at Hostel La Candelaria, which was situated on the north side of La Candelaria Park/Square. The square was beautiful, with lots of bench seating, a small playground for children, and lots of large shade trees. It was always very quiet and peaceful, and was a great place to sit and relax in the afternoon and evening. The Iglesia de la Candelaria is located across the street from the square/park and is painted a bright red colour. It was a really pretty and charming small church. I enjoyed relaxing and spending time in this park/square and admiring the church. La Candelaria is a lovely neighbourhood in Valladolid and I cannot wait to return here someday!

Safe, entertaining and fun!…read more We stopped here for a half an hour as one of the tour stops from an excursion. I was sad we only had 30 minutes! This little park is in the center of the village and is a beautiful landmark. It's jam packed with history and has a lot to offer. A quick walk around inside the fence will take you less than ten minutes but you can enjoy local vendors, snacks, stray pups, music and seating in a safe area. Each corner outside of the square has something to look into. A beautiful and historic church, shopping, a food market, hotels, bars and novelty shops. Safe for tourists, families and all those traveling. Drivers in the area are careful except tourist buses...they are on a mission and won't break for much.

If you like being in nature and cool water, this is the place for you. I had no idea these things existed and now I want to go back to Cancun and explore mini more of the cenote as they have to offer. From what I was told Cancun has the most cenotes in the entire world. That is really cool because this is only an hour and a half flight from Houston Texas so I will definitely come back and check out more of these. The water was so cool and comfortable. They had kind of like a rainfall affect coming from the very top, so water would just splash on your face and it felt so relaxing and good. Great relaxing time for sure. No, I will admit getting down to the watering hole is not easy. It's quite dangerous if you ask me because the stairs a very steep and they are very slippery so be very careful when you're walking down the stairs.
