In the beautiful colonial city of Valladolid, the Zací cenote springs up as a gift in the center of the city: the heart of Valladolid's water. You will not want to miss this natural corner in your visit to Valladolid.
I do not discover anything new if I say that I am a true lover of Valladolid, a city that over the years I have seen how it was getting pretty, more groomed but without losing an iota of its authentic local atmosphere. Valladolid quietly catches the traveler.
In addition to a cozy atmosphere with pleasant streets to stroll through, beautiful restaurants and cafes, historic buildings, shows and museums, the center of Valladolid has a natural pool: the Zací cenote. A comfortable descent by stone stairs lead to the semi-open vault of a beautiful natural space, the place is a cool one.
