A diferencia de Chichen Itzá, es una zona arqueológica con menor cantidad de visitantes sin dejar de ser impresionante y una visita obligada mientras se pasa por Valladolid. Al terminar el recorrido guiado contaras con tiempo libre para explorar por tu cuenta, comprar souvenirs o simplemente tomar fotografías.
