OUR LOCATION
A UNIQUE PLACE
We're not the ones saying it.
It's worth the drive!! I was there yesterday and I was amazed by the beauty. The place is in perfect condition, very well maintained despite... read more They are not strict. 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.

01/01/1970What 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.

It is worth the experience. We were welcomed by the owner's son Armando. The attention was wonderful. A unique experience. A cave in which you can walk and swim, full of... read more stalactites. We took the package with food at 5 pm. At the end of the cave we had dinner in front of a campfire. Highly recommended. To end the experience they turned off all the lights in the place to give us a majestic starry sky. 30 minutes from Valladolid.
19/02/2022This 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 !!
01/01/1970Great experience! It exceeded our expectations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 starting with the interesting explanations, the beauty of the cave, the Mayan ceremony, swimming in the great cenote and ending with a... read more Delicious dinner, congratulations to that lovely family 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful 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
13/05/2023 Of all the cenotes we visited in Valladolid and its surroundings, this was the one we liked the most. Without a doubt, the combination of the natural beauty of the place combined with... read more The experience they give you with a guided tour makes it very special. We were fortunate to be completely alone!! And we loved the Mayan ritual they do before you can swim in the cenote.
01/01/1970A wonderful experience, the best cenote I have ever visited, the explanation and experience are unique, different and very emotional, the ritual makes you feel very relaxed.
The owners are magical people and... read more Very friendly. You have to visit this place!!
