• Valladolid & Cenotes Oxman

    December 29, 2024 in Mexico ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Already in the morning we were welcomed with the heat 🥵. We walked to bit around the city market and bought some fruits. For 150 MXP / 7€ we took a taxi to Cenote San Lorenzo Oxmán to spend the day. Cenote Oxman was quite empty when we arrived so we left our stuff immediately in locker and went for swim. The entrance fee is 200 pesos for swimming or 400 including 300 pesos voucher for restaurant. We took the second option as we wanted to chill by the pool after Cenotes. Cenote was great and we had lot of fun swimming, jumping to the water and enjoying the surroundings. The water was super refreshing and nice cool down from the heat. We liked the Cenote so much that we went after lunch and pool again 🤩. The whole area was in nice shape and food and service was great 👍. In the afternoon we went for a walk around Valladolid for one last time. We walked to the monastery of San Bernardino de Siena and then via the nicest street of the town Calle de Los Frailes to the center. Sunset was amazing and I was looking forward to go to the famous rooftop bar. Unfortunately both rooftops were already full so we walked back to Calle de Los Frailes and ended up in incredible Italian restaurant (we needed a break from mexican food). The setting was amazing with nice music and candles. Food was as incredible as the location which is not always the case. The romantic dinner was amazing 🤩 bit tired we walked back to the monastery for sound and light show which is projected every evening at 9pm in Spanish and 9:20pm in English. The show explains the history of the city and maya empire. Back in the hotel we went straight to bed. What an incredible day ❤️ we love Valladolid!Read more
