  • it's a little intimidating to see the steps basically going underground at palomitas, but once you get over that you are rewarded by an absolutely stunning sight. Absolutely gorgeous.

  • Breathtaking cenote, worth detour from a main road. We were the only ones inside so it added to the atmosphere of uniqueness. Entry is 170 peso, with showers and changing rooms, photos are allowed.
  • Oct 2022: entrance was 170 pesos. Good facilities, clean, well maintained. We came around 12:30pm and had it all to ourselves. The experience of swimming in the cave with the birds and bats overhead is incredible. The water is so blue!
  • One of my favorites. The access alone feels like descending into the underworld (apparently cenotes had this meaning for the Mayans). When we were there, only a few people were in the water. Great experience to swim in a cave - and especially in warm weather the water offers a nice cooling. A great experience!
  • Great place to go if you’re looking to avoid the hyper-crowded popular Cenote’s that are close to Valladolid central. This one is a short 25 min drive from the Center of town and is well worth it. We literally had the entire place to ourselves. The water is a perfect temperature, and the cenote is absolutely stunning. They give you a life jacket but you don’t actually have to wear it. If I could recommend one thing to the owners it would be to drop the price slightly or offer combos, as 150 MEX per cenote in the facility (there are 3) meant we only did one.
  • This cenote is mostly a cave-like experience with one hole opening near the middle (you can't jump through it). It's a huge space. Price per person is $180 pesos as of January 2023. This only includes ONE cenote even though there are two on the premises. You have to buy each one separately. They have life jackets if you want one but it's not required. We got there around 9:30am and there were only two other people there. It's beautiful and amazing when you first see it. There are stairs all the way down with a couple of areas to put your things and stairs into the water (it's Mexico so they weren't super sturdy but worked fine). There were a handful of small fish and a handful of small inner tubes to float around with. This cenote is deep and we saw kids jumping off the rocks. There's also a gym class style rope you can climb and jump off of. Overall a really cool cenote.
