Side streets of Valladolid are quiet and interesting for bicycle excursions. You can rent a bicycle or bring your own.
We
always travel with our folding bicycles, which easily stow in the luggage
compartment of the bus, or inside or on the roof of a colectivo taxi.
If
your time in Valladolid is limited, bike to the municipal market or one or more
of Valladolid’s five distinct neighborhoods, each with a historic church.
Located in the village of Uayma, just a short bicycle ride from Vallodolid, is this beautiful church.
If you have half a day, consider biking to one or more of the nearby cenotes, villages, or to Ek Balam. MexiGo tours is the place to rent a bike and do your own tour, or take one of their guided bicycle excursions. They also have excellent guided tours that visit points of interest at a sensible rate and in the comfort of an air conditioned van.
