This was my first time seeing a cenote. You can skip the first one — the most beautiful ones are the 3rd and 4th. Going by bike is really enjoyable, but there’s also a train for those who don’t want to walk.
This is a one of a kind “bucket list” sort of place that will leave you in awe, inspiration and wonder at the sheer beauty of the nature God created. The Cenotes are crystal clear fresh water wonders of amazement. Whether you like to swim, shoot videos, take photos, bike ride, like good food or just enjoy being in nature this experience is a must!
While we initially were planning to check out another cenote, we were told about this one and decided to give it a try. It was a great experience! After an easy parking, we went to get tickets (didn’t book ahead), which cost 350mxn each, but we paid an additional 120mxn each for lunch too. The food was simple but fairly good and large portions (we didn’t finish). We also paid 20mxn for a locker, then went and got our life jackets. There are four cenotes connected by either a little passenger train or bikes. While the bikes weren’t the best quality, you could just pick whichever one you wanted to use and it was a fun way to get around (and only a short, easy distance). The first cenote is fully underground, which is a cool experience. The second one… wow! Breathtaking. We went back later to see it again. The third one had a beautiful tree growing by the hole in the “roof” with its roots hanging down into the cenote, which was really cool. The fourth cenote (the “pool”) is back by the restaurant area and also very nice. ~$35CAD per person with lunch, four cenotes, and biking around - we thought was well worth it and had a great time!
We really enjoyed this place! We chose these specific cenotes because they have a closed kind and an open kind of cenotes! Absolutely beautiful place ! The service at the place is very nice as well, including little train option between cenotes and bike option, everyone is lovely
We went in a group of 7 and it was a great experience with the first 2 Cenotes. The third one close to the restaurant has a previously bad am Mel around, I didn't go into the water.
