16/11/2020What 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.

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.
¿Organización para un Tour? Inmediato
¿Aceptan familia? Si (fuimos con bebés de 2 años)
¿Cosas relevantes? Amabilidad, explicación, lugar mágico, comida regional excepcional y ritual en Maya (qué después platiqué con mis papás, es 100% verídico que se pidió permiso para poder entrar al Cenote)
Podría tomarme mucho tiempo describiendo nuestra visita pero es algo que nadie debería perderse y nosotros regresaremos (ya está en planes). Gracias, de verdad Gracias

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.
