What’s the experience like?

We rolled out of Valladolid just after sunrise, helmets a little too big and the air still cool enough to make me shiver. The scooter rattled under us — not in a bad way, just enough to feel real. Li from Turix handed us a map (paper! I’d almost forgotten how those work) and circled his favorite cenote with this grin like he knew something we didn’t. He told us to try the cochinita at a place near Ek-Balam, but warned us it might stain our shirts. We laughed and went anyway.

The road to Chichén Itzá was longer than I pictured on Google Maps — straight but full of little surprises: a dog darting across, kids waving from dusty doorways, the smell of tortillas somewhere I couldn’t quite spot. We stopped for water at a shop where an old man asked if we were lost (I said maybe). Our day trip from Valladolid to Chichén Itzá felt less like a checklist and more like drifting through someone else’s daily life. The cenote discounts came in handy; Suytun was quieter than I expected, sunlight slicing through that famous hole in the roof. I still think about that blue light on my arms.

One thing: I dropped my key at Cenote X’Keken — panic! But Turix’s “rescue” number actually worked; someone showed up with a spare before my nerves got too bad. Not sure every rental place would do that. We ended up back in town late, hands sticky from paletas and hair full of dust. Renting a scooter here isn’t about speed or convenience really — it’s about feeling the air change as you zip between towns, hearing your own laugh echo inside a cenote cave, getting advice from people who live here. So yeah, if you want to see Yucatán your own way, this is it.
