Local Tips
Public transport options are limited, so consider renting a car or using rideshare apps. Carry cash, as small businesses may not accept cards.
Cultural Etiquette
Casual, modest dress is appropriate. Tipping 10-15% at restaurants is standard. Greet locals with a friendly 'buenos días' when entering shops or markets.
Safety Warnings
Cholul is generally safe, but stay alert at night in less-populated areas. Watch for unmarked speed bumps on local roads and keep valuables secure.
Hidden Gems
Seek out the lesser-known cenotes just outside town for a refreshing swim, or visit the artisan bakery tucked behind the main plaza for fresh pastries each morning.
