The cenote is magnificent, full of stalactites and stalagmites, which makes it a unique experience for adults and children. The water is crystal clear and has lighting.... read more Blue color, it becomes an incredible experience, saying that it is the best covered cenote in the area falls short, it is something that has to be seen personally to be able to admire its greatness, it is a perfect family plan, with friends or as a couple, in the same way the dinner was spectacular, all the delicious options, the drink and the dessert, the staff was super attentive and very helpful, in our case the cenote was just for us, do not hesitate to book the plan, it is wonderful

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 spend a lot of 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 ๐

This place is truly unique, I have visited several cenotes and this has definitely been the best so far (I visited some near Coba, Il Kil, some in Yucatan,... read more open and closed) To begin with we were a group of 8 people, it was just us for the 3pm reservation, the cenote was exclusively ours, from the moment you enter the place that is managed by a family, you feel a relaxed atmosphere, we paid $400 per person but it included the food which was delicious and totally private, they prepared a beautiful table for us, we did not have a ritual, they told us that it was because of the pandemic, we missed that, the only thing I would recommend to the girl who gave us the explanation is to speak more slowly, I thought I was the only one who didn't understand anything but talking to my family they still couldn't decipher what she was saying, I don't know if she always speaks like that or was in a hurry, hehe but we still really appreciate the attention, everything was excellent, we swam deliciously in a completely private cenote, I know that on these dates they only receive a maximum of 20 people, so go ahead, it's so worth it !!
