5Above and Beyond!!
I loved every minute of this tour! The Xopek park is beautiful and amazing. Mario was my guide and he shared so much about the different species of Honey-Bees. Thank you Mario for showing me the beautiful environment. The Honey tasting was also a great experience. I would absolutely go again!! Then the restaurant that is also there at the park was so delicious! The best food I've had so far on my trip. Thank you Jessica for your wonderful service!!!
5Beautiful place, amazing experience
Javier and Juan were excellent guides, I learned a lot about the bees and the Mayan traditions around beekeeping. The dry cenote is gorgeous, and the bees themselves are wonderful. A special place, great to visit. The empanadas with chaya were delicious, too!
5Perfect start to our Valladolid trip
This bee tour was an incredible experience. The dry Cenote was cool to walk through and my family and I were able to observe the bees in their natural habitats. The honey tastings were delicious and were the perfect end to the tour.

About Valladolid
Valladolid is a colonial city in the Yucatán, with a plaza of pastel buildings, a 16th-century convent and cenotes, close to Chichén Itzá.
Valladolid stands in the east of Yucatán state, founded by the Spanish in the 1540s on the site of a Maya settlement. Its central plaza is flanked by the church of San Servacio and the arcaded town hall, with pastel colonial buildings around it. A short walk away, the Convent of San Bernardino de Siena, built in the 1550s, has a large walled courtyard and a fortress-like church.
