Itinerary

  • Cenote Chaak Tun

    Discover the mysterious Cenote underworld with our bi-lingual guides Bohish, who is one of the region’s most famous Cenote explorers and wildlife conservationists. He will safely guide you through a labyrinth of wondrous caves and rivers, while passionately sharing his knowledge about the geological phenomenon that took place millions of years ago. In the interior of the Cenotes, millions of fossilized corals and marine animals have been found, such as prehistoric sharks, whales and even elephants and other prehistoric mammals more than 10,000 years old. The animals that are the easiest to admire without specialized equipment are those who have shells, because when they die, they tend to accumulate and degrade until compacted densely, forming what is known as a calcareous rock. Hiking through the caverns and caves you may discover various fossils and ancient Mayan artifacts while Pako wistfully explains about their origin, and purpose, making its history come alive in your imagination.

A fun adventure!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing experience exploring the cenote! Our guide, Bosh, was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful guided tour. We were so impressed with how much he knew about the cenote and the surrounding wildlife. All the staff were very welcoming and accommodating as well. Definitely a highlight of our trip!!

Wonderful afternoon

We had an amazing time with Bosh! The cenote is wonderfully beautiful, and we learned a lot. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. You can tell Bosh cares deeply about the environment and these beautiful caves. Our family of 6 all enjoyed walking, climbing and swimming, from ages 5 to 68. Do not fret about the 20 minute very bumpy drive into the jungle once you turn off the highway - it’s worth it!!

A memorable and unique experience

An amazing and unique experience! This tour went through the incredible Cenote Chaak Tun which is filled with stalagmites, stalactites and fossils. It was unlike anything we have ever seen before! You will also see little catfish, birds and bats. The bats eat mosquitos so there are none in the cave but bring bug spray for when you are waiting outside in the jungle before and after. Our guide Bohish was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly, he really made the tour very special and memorable. We were provided with reef shoes, helmets and wetsuits were optional for an additional 200 pesos. It was quite cool inside the cave and getting in and out of the water constantly so we got the wetsuits and we were very comfortable throughout. You can’t bring any electronics inside the cave unless you have a water proof GoPro that you can attach to yourself. They take photos of you and you can review the photos and decide if you want to buy them after for 800 pesos. They gave us a little snack at the end (chocolate croissant) and a shot of tequila which was very welcome as you build up an appetite hiking through the cave. Don’t forget to bring some cash to tip your guide. You can pay for your photos and wet suit with credit card or cash.

The best thing I've ever done.. I can't stay talking about it.

Bosch was incredible. He was very knowledgeable kept us focused. Another thing I really enjoyed was how enthusiastic he was. He showed us things that we take for granted. He was very educated and willing to help us learn. I could have spent hours walking around with him and learning. I would give him five stars and this experience was amazing and I would suggest anybody goes to it

A must do!

Published on Apr, 2023

Amazing tour. Very safe! Boash was a great tour guide. He told us so much information about the caves and formations. Snack could have been better. Group next to us had guacamole, wings, fresh juice. We had gross sandwiches. All in all I would definitely do it again!
