Is Valladolid, Mexico Worth It? (Costs, Experience, Food)

In this video, we explore the vibrant town of Valladolid, México, in the Yucatán, visit stunning cenotes just outside the city, and end with a visit to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World: Chichén Itzá. We cover what it’s like getting to Valladolid, how to rent a car locally, where to eat (yes, there are churros), and whether the hype around Chichén Itzá lives up to expectations. Plus, we catch a free light show you might not know about.
