What an incredible experience at this cenote. We were lucky to have it all to ourselves with Manuel, the guide who not only talks about history but also about culture and mythology.... read more They prepared a small ritual for us, and we were able to swim alone in the cenote.
The place is amazing and has the largest stalactite in Mexico! Congratulations!

We had the opportunity to visit it on a rainy day after a storm that raised the water level (making it even more mystical).
They explain the 9 levels of Xibalba, tell us about the Popol Vuh, the Aluxes, the Noria, and other stories.
Organizing for a Tour? Immediate
Do you accept families? Yes (we went with 2-year-old babies)
Relevant things? Kindness, explanation, magical place, exceptional regional food and Mayan ritual (which I later talked to my parents about, it is 100% true that permission was requested to enter the Cenote)
I could take a long time describing our visit but it is something that nobody should miss and we will return (it is already planned). Thank you, really Thank you.

01/01/1970PeterpachusBeautiful place to visit - We went as a family, when you arrive at the place it certainly doesn't seem like this place exists, like almost all the cenote places in Yucatan this is a place full of mysticism,... read more history but above all of beautiful things, on the tour they take you to see the cenote and the various formations that the water has made in the sinkholes over the years, the reward when you reach the end of the tour is that you can take a good dip and cool off in the water that is at a very pleasant temperature, the place has a space to change and to eat, one of those places that you will always remember

We arrived late, they gave us a night tour and it was a wonderful experience. We visited 8 platforms while they explained and a Mayan ritual until we reached number 9, THE WATER! It's great because a large area of water only reaches your waist, perfect for seniors, children, or non-swimmers like me. Afterward, a dinner (we had it outdoors). Everything was delicious!! They have lockers, water shoes rental, very comfortable changing rooms, and many more things. And very importantly: THE PRICE IS VERY AFFORDABLE. Call, make a reservation, these people are extremely kind.

The most incredible experience -REAL-
We took the private-night tour and it was incredible we had the grotto just for 7 people, I couldn't believe such beauty, to finish we had a very nice dinner... read more intimate with Antonio who treated us as if we were brothers, we were impressed by his attention.
It is a place where honesty, fraternity and transparency can be seen without presumption.
The price is extremely affordable for an experience that I will remember for a long time.
My congratulations to Armando, Tony, Raúl and those I did not get to meet for making a natural place a well-managed natural conservation site for your visit.
Thanks for everything.
