![]() It had been a long tiresome day for us after all and we were ready for a tasty Yucatan meal. The sight of the good-looking produce quickly made us hungry. Mangoes that have been peeled, cut into wedges, sprinkled with salt and chili, and wrapped in plastic bags. They sat on wooden stools with their produce neatly arranged on tarp-covered wooden crates. They were going about their daily business: shopping, taking care of kids, chatting the hot Yucatan afternoon away, and selling produce at the curbside, just like in the Philippines. The local barberia (barber shop) had its own sastre (tailor) so you can have your haircut and your pants hemmed in one place.Īs we walked up and down the busy streets while photographing old buses and giant tequila bottles, we couldn’t help but notice that the town was filled with women wearing traditional Maya dresses - white dresses embellished with colorful embroidery on the chest, shoulders and around the edge of the skirt. There’s a local panaderia (bakery), carniceria (butcher shop), tlapaleria (hardware store), botica (drugstore), and cerrajeria (locksmith). Mercados (crafts markets) selling huaraches (sandals), bags, and embroidered dresses abound around the square. The center of the hustle and bustle in this small town is in its main square, the El Centro, where kids gather after school and inseparable couples perambulate. It was an interesting glimpse to Yucatan life that reminded me a lot about the simple life in the Philippine countryside. The fabled ruins of Chichen Itza were truly fascinating but walking around the dusty streets of Valladolid proved to be fascinating as well. Not far from the awe-inspiring Maya ruins, we discovered the old quaint colonial town of Valladolid. On our way back to Cancun, after marveling at the Chichen Itza ruins, we decided to hit the backroads and explore the Yucatan countryside. We very much enjoyed what we did, what we saw, and, obviously, what we ate. It was surprisingly safe and actually memorable. Taxes, fees not included for deals content.N our first trip to Cancun last year, despite warnings of crime-infested barrios, drug cartels, and bribing cops, Dennis and I ventured out to the countryside and explored Yucatan life outside the big city. ![]() If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this matter, you are welcome to contact our customer support team.īusinessYab is not a booking agent, and does not charge any service fees to users of our site.īusinessYab is not responsible for content on external web sites.
