So, we decided to stay in Valladolid, which is a city more in the center, right? a beach city like Tulum However, all the main attractions such as the cenotes and Chichén Itzá are close by, so if you are like us who love to enjoy the attractions, it is well worth staying here for at least two nights in Valladolid and like us, If you have a rented car, this is another super cool tip for you because the value for money is very good, we paid R$1600 for a Dodge car with coverage for 10 days so we could do all our traveling here in Cancún Tulum Playa Del Carmen we went to Holbox also including all these videos you can find in our playlist Mexico here on the channel But returning with a rented car you have more Freedom also staying here in Bala do alid you can go to the attractions when they are not so crowded with tours and take better photos enjoy the experience better place So that's our tip here for you this is our airbnb I thought it was wonderful and it's super new I think we don't know Maybe we haven't had 10 guests here yet so it's a privilege too, right to open a space like this which is super well decorated and super comfortable, right, and now as we came straight from Holbox, which took about 2 hours by car, we're still starving.
We haven't had lunch, we 're going to look for somewhere to eat and maybe we'll already know the center here in Valladolid . we came to see it here Oh la la Cafeteria that has this 2D design proposal it's all black and white and they serve brunch from 9 until 4:30 it's always a good idea to book if you want to visit here it's already half empty because it's almost time to close, but it worked out, they managed to free us up to have a snack here and get to know this super different space here, it's all in 2D drawing, I ordered a cappuccino, it's a little further from the center, we came by car and here, the proposal is really cool and different and the coffee is very tasty, different, each sandwich was 120 pesos, it was very good, very interesting, the chicken was more spicy, my mouth was burning, but I thought it was cool, it tasted different, wonderful cappuccino, water 35 pesos, cappucino 45 pesos, a total of 320 pesos, which is more or less R$100 fair enough We arrived here in the center, this is the main square of Valladolid, there is the church, there are a lot of tourists, the fair, I don't like it, Look, there is dancing there, yes, Is it already the Día de los Muertos festival, which is in two days, Look what cool, the people at airbnb just sent us the schedule for Día de los muertos, everything that is very typical is in front of the cemetery today, haha, shall we? let's go!

We just arrived here at Pracinha Central late afternoon today is October 31st, the Día de los Muertos festivities have started, very cool, with a dance performance back there and this noise that you are listening to it, it's a bird, we thought it was a whistle or people like that imitating a bird, I don't know, but it's a lot of birds, it's now late afternoon and here in front is also the church, which is one of the tourist attractions here in Valladolid and today we even received the hosts there from airbnb, a calendar with the schedules is for Día de los Muertos and there will be the traditional party that they throw, which is in front of the cemetery And now we have to find out where it is, right, but I think it will be really cool, a very unique experience and Rooted here in Mexico and there are marquesitas Let's get one It could be that little stall over there I saw some pretty marquesitas, man Look, the line must be good, right ? little butter there he threw the sauce he threw the pasta there from the marquesita and now comes the Nutella oh he filled it with Nutella he put Nutella and it's ready and the second one is already being made in the back oh the team there is in harmony it's worth it worth the queue very good today, October 31st, right, they celebrate on Día de los Muertos And then there's a festival here in front of the municipal cemetery, very interesting, there's a guy there telling a story about All Souls' Day and such, then there's going to be a show there by an orchestra, there's a fair, there's some guys dressed up there, interesting how strong this culture is in the back, it's a cemetery, there's going to be an activity now inside the cemetery, that's it, guys, look what she's making me do there, people, this is traditional tourism, people, nothing happened, everyone's leaving.
The dancers left, they are the Mexicans, they know what's going on. There are people coming back, let's stay a little longer, out of nowhere, we end up in a procession, a day to be happy because everyone can be together one day, look how cool, this is to free those who are still on their pilgrimage. who didn't find their way and then they make an altar with the photo of the people they've been to and they put it near that altar with the photo that the person liked drink dance rattle anything they liked they put a tradition around here for that reason I didn't expect it, no one expected it, Mercado 41 here on Rua 41, very top, lots of options here, quesadillas, tacos, burgers, desserts around 150 pesos for a hamburger and 28, 38, 48 pesos for each taco, and when it arrived, mine is meat, cheese and Ale's is the The shepherd we discovered is a pig.
Isn't it Lamb? Too good? meat cheese avocado she calls them mulitas I don't understand why But mulitas are really good, with everything we ordered, she gave Alê three tacos, two for me plus a potato R$100 Very good people, these meat and cheese tacos that come with mayonnaise with an avocado face, oh my God, it's so good Tomorrow I want to come back here to eat another one, two or three, very good R$15 each Good morning everyone, good morning Good morning, we wake up early, Cenote Suytun is one of the most famous and it's very difficult to be alone here it opens at 9 am we are arriving here at 8:50 and it is only 8 km from our airbnb so that is why it is very good to stay in Valladolid I was also seeing that the Tours start there at Chichén Itzá so what did I think we do the opposite, wow, understand?
Then we'll be more relaxed, we don't even wait for 9 hours, they already let us in and then if we're going to go in, you know, in the cenote, a life jacket is always mandatory and they provide it here, you also have to take a shower, we paid 250 pesos per person to enter, then take the bracelet here, right, the ticket then exchange it for the bracelet And then you can stay all day We arrived here, we are on the catwalk very early there is a person swimming, just look how cool it is, it echoes a lot and look at the hole in Up above you can also test the Cave Echo now you can't hear my voice but when we arrived alone anything you said quietly was already echoing a lot but it was really cool Chukum We got to where Chukum Chukum we now arrived at Cenote Chukum which is about 10 a few minutes away from the first one we went to at Suytun and here it was 180 pesos per person and it would be 400 pesos for anyone who wants to have lunch here so I think it's a place that Tour agency people come to at lunch time where I was Looking there, it's like a Buffet, so this 180 peso ticket includes the Locker, right, so you can leave your things there are zip lines, you can go as many times as you want, you just have to take a shower, right beforehand, and you also stay there all day, right? You only pay once for the entrance, you get these bracelets here and I brought our snorkels from home, right? there are plenty of opportunities here in Mexico to use them So I left everything in the Locker I just took the camera here to show you and the snorkels and it's going to be tense to get into this shower now but this shower first thing in the morning And here we go, look at the entrance, look all the cenote entrances are like this, in caves there aren't some that are more open but there is one that we went there in.
There are some that are open but the majority are like this It's still dark here it's still scary you won't want to go in let's go Come on, I think when the lightning comes in it turns very blue, but it's still very dark, look, but only in the dark can you see the color of the water Look how blue and the Zipline comes out of there, oh come on, right, one time we can run away. getting people in. It's been solved.
This is a new problem, getting to places when there's no one because you don't know what you do when there are people. You always follow the flow, right? And here there's no flow, there's light there, the color of water, yes, yes.
There, it's cool, man, it's scary, alone here, man, the color of the water is bizarre, people coming without anyone is very tense because you don't know what you have to do, but we're going to show you everything first hand Oh, you can come along here Oh, let's go along 1 2 3 and since you're afraid , subscribe to channel 3 2 1, it was mine, how beautiful, look here, that's the lower part of the cenote. It's more crowded because the light usually comes in very straight and illuminates Oh midday then it turns that color look there's just a beam of light coming in from below Look how beautiful it's 18m up there and 20 down So it's halfway through of full water 20m I liked it I thought it was fun R$60 per person there are lockers, changing room there, lunch, people, their hair is like Borogodó and We arrived at the cenotes Agua Dulce and Palomitas, I forgot to check the time, it only opened at two in the afternoon here, here Cenote Palomitas we're at Cenote Palomitas now that there's Agua Dulce and Palomitas, Agua Dulce only opens at two in the afternoon and now it's 11:20 we 're going to visit this one first, it's the most rootsy so far with the least structure like this there's no light , right ? We were watching, it's as if this height is always going down, at least look at the silence, but it's scary to go in alone like this, alone, alone, alone, our water is so clear that there's already water here, that's crazy, people, places change a lot when it's full of people, when it's not I don't think this strategy was good, go to the busiest one first, then go to the others and get everything yourself, I thought it was very impressive because it's bigger, but here the coolest scheme is from what I saw in the photos, I think it was Agua Dulce has a staircase and such but it won't go there and there in Palomitas and Agua Dulce it is 180 pesos per person for each person, right, so if you go to Palomitas 180 if you go to Agua Dulce another 180 pesos and when you get here there are several signs of Cenote Secreto Maya that I haven't seen anything in Portuguese yet talking about this cenote but there are so many signs that they are investing in that we decided to take a look since we couldn't go to Agua Dulce and it seems to have structure because just from investing in signs around the city and we saw that the van that was in the other one there in Palomitas is also going there so we go to many cenotes here in the region many many We arrived at Cenote Secreto Maya this one I didn't see any reviews you will see first hand reviews here it was close to AguaDulce and Palomitas that we went to but as Agua Dulce was closed we came to take a break here this one is a little more expensive 250 pesos per person you can use the pool everything else there is a restaurant that gets 10% very cool this is the first open cenote that appears the roots of the trees go down so people can, like, there are some vines that can swing, but you can't pull the roots because you can fall, you can't stay too low because you can fall and if you want to jump, there's abseiling here, you can rappel here from the platform, it's 20m or do Cliff jumping, right, it's cliff jumping, you can do it from here too, man, this is great interesting huh and he thought we were French because Brazilians don't come, only French people come here, all the Google reviews are in French and now there's ours here too, go down this staircase here, hold on, love man, it's 54 m down so It's very dark on camera, but it's still a little brighter than when you see it in person, but it's very deep, you have to wear a vest, right ?
too much and then the rappel goes down , with the ropes like the height from there I'm not afraid to jump but when I look at the darkness of the water man I get really scared like you can't see anything down you can see the edges, right here, there you you can see where there's plenty of light, right? Then it's like this in the darkness, but there's the pendulum and there's rappelling. Look at this color.
We're getting brave. My fear is the dark water, not the pendulum. The other one was worse, unlike the others, which are caves, but the first two were the coolest, Suytun and Chukum, which ones did you like the most?
The last one was perhaps the most beautiful, but the zipline one was cooler. and now an advertisement has come out asking saying that November, right, is the month of Souls and to pray a novena for the souls who are in purgatory and asking for this on the radio, so their culture is very strong here, which is a top restaurant here, at the Colonte hotel, which It's also an airbnb partner there, there's a 10% discount for those who want to have brunch, lunch, dinner here on the side, my green juice has already arrived, several options, avocado toast, salmon toast, then there are salads, mexican foods, Alé ordered the teriaky bow and I ordered a burrito and a tuna tartar too ó 155 pesos tuna tartar the bowl of Alê tuna too ó 155 and a Colonte burrito 165 I ordered a pineapple juice with achai you know what mint is very good and very beautiful the place Like look how beautiful the design and Everything, I was looking at some photos of the rooms at reception and they seem to be very good, the area is super good, it's next to our airbnb and it's 5 minutes walk from Valladolid square, two blocks, it's really worth it and a great place to eat, right? Very practical, it's on the airbnb side.
So you don't need to think too much, we're also going to get our nachos, people, everything has the aesthetic look here, I like that man, I like it when people think about the details and the experience of being beautiful, you know, in design, Gracias It's beautiful, huh, we're really neat, man, the best guacamole we've had so far, it's been since we arrived in Mexico that we've been going around for a few days, so, oh, it's very neat, I dedicate it to you, Caciane, my mother, look at the size of this burrito it was a meal you wanted uhm rice with broccoli tuna and avocado oh with the tortilla Ah it comes with tortilla I understand that's the dish not only is the tartar very different from what I expected it came in a huge burrito and they serve it with some sauces Now which is very typical in Holbox also when we try the quin Chinqui cans chinaliquis how was it chinil they also asked if I wanted the red sauce or green sauce and I saw that they served burrito with these two sauces here which are very traditional for us see various foods top lunch here at the Colonte hotel, here is our airbnb, they let you park here at the Colonte hotel too, here is the hotel Where is the restaurant inside, you can go in now and talk to the receptionist and breakfast, lunch and dinner there very good It's better Guacamole that I ate on the trip one of the best in life it's exactly the best in real life and now we're going there to see Ek Balam it's even closer to the last cenote that we went to the secret one Maia, but we wanted to go back to the hotel, take a shower, eat calmly and then we're going back there. The good thing about having a rented car is that it also gives you more freedom to do things like that, so we're going back there, which is an archaeological site and It looks like there's also a cenote there, giving 35 minutes until then make your comments Alexandre one comment is that I ate really well cenote for everything that is corner here there is a cenote even in the middle of the city here and one more curiosity we found out talking to Alê's mother who she said that's 3 The difference between us is not two hours, but here it's already 5 pm, folks, it's 2 pm, we discovered that in Valladolid it's one hour less, it's one hour less, and then we slept, we didn't notice that, the cell phone clock updated everything ok, right? So here in local time everything is fine but you checked Cancun and it was an hour plus an hour plus Ahem You have to pay 100 pesos to park here inside the park in cash so it's very important that you have cash and money, right?
It's very important to have money, as many places are accepting cards, I thought they would accept it in fewer places, but you have to have it, you have to have change, now we were running out, we have to exchange the dollar for pesos again and it was in the can like 100 pesos we arrived in Ek Balam Ok oh two so let's pay by card while we don't exchange it for more pesos right or you can pass wise here the tickets general admission is actually 441 pesos right But then there is the tax rate so 531 pesos and the last entry is really at 4 in the afternoon so let's go, it's time, this is the way to get there, they were very short, you can see that the Mexican people are also smaller in stature, right, and the Mayans seem to be very short Guys, look at this building It's crazy, creating courage, love, people, it's really worth the visit, seriously. Look at the view from up here, you can see very far, like very far away, and the internet peak here, oh, it's never been so good since we arrived, it's bizarre, be careful, love, going down is tense. Oh, he's down there, he's already gone, man, he's gone, people, Alê deserves to subscribe to the channel, huh, in the meantime, I'm here, I'm here, waiting, looking at the view, I tied my hair up, took off my cap, put my cell phone in everything in Alê's bag, I was alone with the camera here, you and I are ready to go back down here, guys, to go down, or do you go down like this, throwing your body backwards or do you go sideways like this, oh, I went sideways, Alê was a blast He went with everything up there, okay?
butterflies in the stomach like this, come with sports clothes, I didn't expect it, I thought it was just going to be a walk, I didn't expect us to go up there, she came from an archaeologist, it was really worth the trip, come and see it, it's incredible how this exists like this, seriously man very very good, we came without a guide, we can understand a lot less things, right, tomorrow at Chichén Itzá we are going to hire one Because then we really want to understand the whole story when we went there to the ruin, someone here at the Park asked for a guide for us to remove the microphone, he said that it is forbidden to record with a microphone, which didn't make much sense, well, top here, right next to Calle de Los Frailes Look at the vibe here The little place on the street has Roof top, also Mexican cuisine, the nachos have now arrived as a starter on the house tip from Alê tip from Alexandre huh, every dinner today I'm enjoying it, my God, I'm in love with corn, man, man, I thought it was cheese but it's like mayonnaise and it's peppery, it's spicy pepper, everything's boiling, I thought it was like cheese filling the white one but it's mayonnaise so it's a little burnt so mayonnaise and nanana mayonesaa pasta white sauce and mushroom bread corn cake with ice cream and look how beautiful tangerine cheesecake oh what a wonderful texture oh how cool good morning good morning to visit Chichén Itzá, but first we're going to have breakfast at the Colonte hotel, located next door, which is an airbnb partner, right ? full of people in the Café, very beautiful place, the little rooms up there, I'm going to this Breakfast, 210 pesos, here comes a plate of fruit, two eggs, two ingredients of your choice, here comes juice and more coffee and a basket of breads as much as you like, good, right? Besides Besides that, there are other things like some omelettes here from them avocado toast 145 pesos salmon toast 165 there is humus toast there is French toast banana French toast chilaquiles no chilaquiles Today there is no four time zones from Mexico, we were here, we're at the end, now we're here, this state here, which is what we're in now, I Yucatán is another time zone, learning, right?
I liked it, hey, I ordered a cappuccino and pancakes and Alê ordered the entire breakfast sequence, yummy, good, good to have a hotel breakfast and then part of Alê's breakfast arrived, man, that's just the beginning, man, that's crazy, here comes rice, comes salad and there's more fruit, there's also a basket of bread and I ordered it here, pancakes here in the region, honey with pepper is super traditional. I think this one shouldn't have pepper, but well, at least I'm going to try the honey, which you think will be good. It's going to be good, so it was very good here in Valladolid, we could do several cenotes, close to the main attractions like Ek Balam and now we're going to Chichén Itzá and we're going to go through Tulum, see the beach there, the Madre Naturaleza center and finally we're going head to Playa Del Carmen This is the view from the balcony here and it's a very traditional Mexican city, it was really cool to have stayed here, right, because man, like, this isn't Mexico, like there are a lot of tourists, but it's Mexico, Mexico, it's not international, good food, good restaurants, well It's really cool, it's really worth it and the value for money is great and here's a tip for you too, if you're staying at this airbnb Let's get to know Chichén Itzá Behind the scenes what Globo doesn't show, she stepped in poop yesterday, she's there trying to clean her brand new sneakers That's what we have for today, don't let me tell you this story yesterday we were going back to the restaurant and I saw a very stepped on poop I said man we passed by here was it us on Ida I looked at my foot but I didn't believe it would be right And it was actually me who stepped on a piece of shit that you have no idea the size of But on the positive side I was wearing sneakers on the positive side two I saw that it was me who stepped on it otherwise I would have reached the apartment, right I would go Chichén Itzá subscribe to the channel we are walking We've been driving for a week now, let's stop to fill up now, how did you ask?
I asked for regular gasoline, which is regular and aPremium, regular, it's 22 23 pesos per liter, it cost 1017 pesos to fill the tank, it was going into reserve now it will cost R$300 R$300 good for a week of walking, it was worth it and before leaving, right from the city, here we stopped by to see the sign and the convent of São Bernardino de Siena, which were the last tourist attractions we were missing check, right, check here in Valladolid and it's very hot today, I think it's the hottest day we've had and here it's at the end of Calle de Los Frailes, which was the street we walked on yesterday with lots of restaurants and little shops and rented car it's really worth it we paid R$1600 for this car here, Dodge Car with full insurance coverage for 10 days of travel, it's really worth it, it gives you a lot of freedom and you can see the attractions without being too crowded Parking lot entrance to cenotes Buffet man I wonder if that's weird, let's go They told us to stop and get a ticket, this is for you to go nearby, I think you can take a van to go there, right man, he said we have to get a ticket for the rental cars so we don't park 6 km away, I read on the Chichén Itzá website that you could get the ticket at the place, there's not even a tourist guy, right? They stopped on the street, put a cone on it and told you to go in, then it looks like it's the police, then you stop and you look, it's not the police, people, when They stop on the road and do something like this, it seems like it's very serious, right? We were like, straight up, getting a fine, but it was just a joke to deceive tourists there, it's only possible if we don't go back, but it seemed like a lot of deception, there and there were tourists standing there buying, we are.
30 km away, it's still like it's far away, we still have 26 minutes to get there, in total it takes 45 minutes from Valladolid to Chichén Itzá and he said that if you don't buy the ticket, they will tell you to park 6 km away man 6 km is too far, like it's an hour's walk, you wouldn't even have to go to a park where you only have to get a ticket in the middle of nowhere, and if it's 6 km away you don't think there will be a tuk- tuk people selling to go there man they were convincing because they looked like police like that little vest no It looked like the police, it looked like they put a cone on the street, they ordered the car to stop, pull over to the park there in Ek Balam, there was part of the Federal Police that collected taxes, so it could be, I don't know, a toll, a fee to enter, but look, no, you saw when they ordered it to stop like that, uniform doesn't stop So if you like it you can go back and park Ok 80 pesos here the parking here is very close here the parking lot was right there and the entrance to the park is here look at the movement there is everything we haven't seen from tourists until now we're going to see it today It's a lot of people [ __ ] look, here it is to buy the tickets 614 Mexican pesos buying here on the spot and look at the line here, the price for a Locker U$3 for a large Locker U$3 for an umbrella, there's a lot of sun, which is the entrance, look, there are little shops, restaurants to buy tickets, guides offering tours and there are a lot of crazy people, there are a lot of tourists and here they only pay in pesos, right in cash, dollars are not accepted or you can pay by card, right, both credit cards and credit cards debt that you have in the currency, for example from Wise, I will leave you the link for you to create the account, you don't have it yet from Wise in the description and 90 pesos is the tax 90 pesos is the Federal tax And you still have to pay the state tax is 182 that divide the total amount you have to pay at two different booths first you pay 90 PES each which is a Federal fee and then you have to pay 524 Mexican pesos each at the other booth which then is the ticket even then Admission General It was difficult to get there getting the ticket, a lot of people, very touristy, now it was empty, it seems like when we arrived, I think several Tours arrived together, it was like, too crowded to enter with any camera, you pay 45 pesos, so you skip the line and pay here, so my official camera doesn't pay but GoPro pays 50 pesos now I got the authorization So let's go I think it's expensive now I really love being a tourist I love it it's very good Then we got the guide it makes all the difference it's price listed in Spanish 900 pesos 1000 pesos in English and 1200 in other languages and then we also got together in a small group here at the front that had interested parties and they divided the price among the people, so it was 150 pesos per person, totally worth it, there was a tourist who went up the stairs at the end of last year, then the police went up to remove him because he couldn't go up there was a more tragic one that then the girl in 2006 she fell tripped going down a step she fell 20m she died they stopped leaving it there then she couldn't go up anymore construction is very perfect and they aligned the pyramid according to solstices equinoxes to follow the seasons Seasons rain very crazy and when you clap outside the line you hear a clap echoing when you clap your palm on the stair line right in front the framing of the Stones perfectly makes the same sound as one of their birds here in the region and the noise of this bird I asked why this specific bird is because it looks like a snake when it flies it has a tail and what makes the noise is the mineral that is in the stone that noise it makes there it was caught in the morning here they found a lot of bones skulls there is no water that water is just from decomposition Wow, there must be a lot of bodies down there now we're going to the Pelota field and we're going to show what their game was like here and he showed a ball like they make it with resin, right? full was always extracted during the full moon and the ball was very different like that, right Uhum And I thought it was heavy and would sink but it bounces really cool I loved the tour it took about 2 hours and here we are on the biggest Juego field of Pelotas that they had Campo Maia and it was a game that they had that could only use some parts of the body, right like the hips here, the part of the leg, right? And then the captain was up there.
The captains could also use it as if it were a one bat, what is baseball like, a baseball bat, the captains could also use a bat to try to hit the Pelota, which was made of wax, you know, tree resin, this resin was collected on full moon nights, you had to hit that square, that one, that one circle there is very difficult It seems small and then comes the theory that champions die if they sacrifice themselves and the guide was explaining it's not that they actually die it's more symbolic because for example Miguel is the guide, right, if he were the champion, the symbolism is that Miguel would die. Today, a new Miguel is born, right, would that be the idea that can explain the drawing of the sacrifice of the Champions, which are also represented in the drawings, and that was our tour? here in Chichén Itzá it's really worth it, it took about 2 hours with the guide, right, a little longer, but it's really worth understanding more of the history, right, it's very rich, here in Culture, in history, how they built it all, Engineer like, oh, and there's something like this No, it cannot be confirmed, however, and there is research that there may be a cenote here under the pyramid.
