Tours from Valladolid, Yucatán

Local guides. Living history.

Not just a tour. A real experience.

We are certified native guides from Valladolid. We take you to Chichén Itzá, Ek Balam and the cenotes of Yucatán with the knowledge of someone who grew up here.

Chichén Itzá · Wonder of the World

El Castillo awaits you.

With a guide who has known it since childhood.

Early access, no crowds. Your native local guide reveals the secrets of El Castillo and Maya astronomy you won't find in any guidebook.

Ek Balam · The Black Jaguar

The best kept secret.

Less visited. More authentic.

Ek Balam has the finest Maya sculptures on the entire Peninsula. You can climb to the top — and the view from up there is unmatched.

Cenotes · Xibalbá Experience

Waters you won't forget.

The ancient cenotes of the Maya world.

Dive into natural pools up to 40 meters deep, surrounded by vines and stalactites. A world that exists only in Yucatán.

Río Lagartos · Flamingos Experience

Yucatán will surprise you.

Flamingos, lagoons and hidden cenotes.

Pink flamingos in the lagoons of Río Lagartos, Las Coloradas and hidden cenotes. An experience most tourists never discover.

We are not an agency.
We are from here.

Every Lakin Tours guide was born or grew up in Yucatán. We know every cenote, every stone and every story because we lived them from childhood. That is not something you learn from a book.

Airbnb Itzá Experience

Our tour with Martin was the best we've had by far. So knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and culture. He made Chichén Itzá so interesting and educational. Could not recommend more!

Superb experience with Henry. One of the best tour guides I've ever had. Knowledgeable, professional, great sense of humour. His deep local knowledge of Chichén Itzá made all the difference.

Experiência perfeita com o guia Jonathan que fala Português. Chegamos às 07:30 e o sítio estava vazio. Guia Maya com ótimo conhecimento da história. Imperdível. Parabéns LakinTours!
