Mexico

With so many beautiful places to visit in Mexico it is hard to choose where to travel. In this guide I show you a list of the best tourist destination and attractions in Mexico. In total I spent more than 3 months driving around Mexico in rental cars and took multiple domestic flights around the country and visited almost every state in Mexico. More than 7,000 kilometer (4,000 miles) on the road brought me to almost 20 different States around the country.

Valladolid was one of my stops on my Yucatan road trip and with Ek Balam cenote only about 30 minutes drive from Valladolid I had to visit this famous cenote in Yucatan too. There are so many cenotes near Valladolid: Zaci, Suytun, Ik Kil, etc. but some locals told me that visiting cenote Xcanche was more than good fun and that is why I went.

Throughout all my Yucatan travel blogs I have constantly been preaching that traveling the Yucatan Peninsula does not have to be expensive. It just comes down to how much budget you have! Prices in Yucatan and traveling around the peninsula are probably only a fraction of what things cost in your hometown, but please refrain yourself from saying the Yucatan is cheap.

The more you explain the locals how cheap it is to travel to Yucatan Peninsula the more expensive it becomes. Keep in mind that for locals the tourist prices in the Yucatan are expensive!
