Trip to Cenote Ik Kil

From Cancún: Take the 7:30 AM ADO bus to Valladolid (direct, no stops). Later departures get packed. Last Leg: From Valladolid’s Transporte Colectivo station, hop a shared van (100 MXN cash, leaves every 30 mins). The 45-minute ride drops you at the ruins’ entrance. Pro Tip: Avoid weekends—locals get free entry, crowds swell. 🌴 Beyond the Pyramid Cenote Ik Kil: 3km away, this sacred sinkhole (ignored by me, but iconic) lets you swim where Mayans made sacrifices. Valladolid Stopover: On your return, explore this colonial town’s pastel streets and cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork) stalls. Fun fact: The ball court’s walls are angled to amplify whispers—try conspiring like a Mayan noble. 🏟️✨ 📸 Shot on: 💡 Insider Note: Hire a guide at the site—they’ll point out how the pyramid’s steps equal the Mayan calendar’s days. #Mexico #Cenote Ik Kil
