Archaeological Zones near Valladolid

Many tourists arrive to learn everything about the Mayan culture in the days that they have destined for their vacations in Yucatan, but some of them do not know where to start and look for Archaeological zones near Valladolid.

The first thing you should know about the Archaeological Zones is that there are more than you imagine. There are approximately 16 areas with Mayan pyramids and buildings that the INAH protects and manages in Yucatán.

There are routes, such as the Puuc Route that include several pyramids and Mayan cities that are insurmountable for visitors, the enigmatic pyramids flood the minds of those who have the joy of observing them with peace and mysticism.


Chichen Itzá.

Just 45 minutes from the center of Valladolid is one of the most important and enigmatic pyramids in the entire Yucatan peninsula and the entire country. This place has different pyramids and Mayan buildings of spectacular size; you will surely be impressed with the vastness of the old buildings.

Recognized worldwide as a Wonder of the World, Chichen Itza awaits its visitors with history impregnated on each stone. Mayan wisdom takes place on every staircase and every polished stone. It is and always will be one of the most important points where the past of the Mayan culture is exhibited.

Cobá.

One of the highest pyramids in the entire Mayan world and 55 minutes by car from our starting point, is waiting for you. The main building is 42 meters high, positioning itself as the highest in the Yucatan Peninsula. One of the main buildings has public access, so you can go up at your own risk and with great care.

Climbing a pyramid, is it a good idea? Well, it will always depend on your abilities and the state of the building. You must take into account that going up is much easier than going down. In Cobá the slope is a bit steep and you will most likely have to go down practically sitting down.

Ek Balam

The pyramids of Ek Balam are not as high as those of Cobá but they definitely carry an incomparable beauty, the entrance of the ruins is outdoors, and although in some areas there is shade, the heat can be quite strong at some hours of the day. Stay hydrated and take advantage of going up to the main building. The slope of this is not that high and the steps are in very good condition.

Yaxunah

The place is only 1:15 hrs from the city center of Valladolid: the cost of entry is much lower for residents who can prove nationality with their voting credentials or some other official identification.
It turns out to be very interesting to know such an important Mayan ceremonial center.
